Coconut shell charcoal

The high-density carbon base behind five of our six lines.

Coconut shell is the densest common charcoal feedstock: more fixed carbon, less ash, and no felled trees. Indonesia's copra industry produces shell at scale, and our supply contracts turn that byproduct into every coconut line we press.

Why is coconut shell preferred over wood for briquettes?

Shell charcoal reaches 70 to 75% fixed carbon with ash under 3%, where mixed wood briquettes commonly sit around 60% carbon with grey ash above 5%. Shell is also a waste stream, so the material carries no deforestation exposure.

Where does the shell come from?

Crushing and desiccated-coconut plants in Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi supply cleaned dry shell under annual contracts. Intake is inspected per truck and stored by lot, which keeps the carbon base uniform between batches.

Which products are pressed from shell?

Shisha cubes and hexagons, BBQ pillow briquettes, natural shell lump, and industrial fines. Same carbon base, different pressing, sizing, and packaging per application.
