As global economies seek to transition to renewable energy, charcoal and firewood are increasingly being seen as transitional fuels that can bridge the gap between fossil fuels and cleaner alternatives. While not entirely carbon-neutral, these fuels, when produced and consumed responsibly, offer a lower-carbon alternative to coal and oil in certain applications. For industries that require high heat, such as the steel and cement sectors, charcoal is an attractive alternative due to its efficiency and lower environmental impact. In agricultural contexts, biochar has emerged as a key byproduct of charcoal production, offering benefits in carbon sequestration and soil health enhancement, further expanding its market potential.
