Various Bamboo Charcoal Uses: Bring Good Economic Profit
Bamboo charcoal is not activated carbon. It is a kind of carbon-rich thing. Through high-temperature biomass pyrolysis (carbonization) reactor, the bamboo will be converted into charcoal. See its wide applications.
Heating Fuel & BBQ & Hookah
Poultry Field
Soil Improvement
Carbon Sequestration
Metallurgical Industry
Water and Smell Purification
Heating Fuel & BBQ & Hookah:
Bamboo charcoal has a fixed carbon content of over 80%, making its calorific value about 30% higher than wood charcoal. Therefore, it suits to be:
- used as fuel in cement plants, power factory, brick plants, etc.
- used for BBQ or Hookah.
Poultry Field:
- Act as animal feed additives to improve animals’ digestion and health;
- Function in stockyard bedding to absorb odors and improve the environment;
- Absorb ammonia emitted by animals and their excrement.
Soil Improvement:
Bamboo biochar is a good material to improve soil quality. It can:
- improve soil aeration and drainage and enhance soil structure;
- increase nutrient retention and promote plants’ healthier growth and higher yields.
- regulate soil pH, etc.
Carbon Sequestration:
Bamboo biochar is rich in carbon and has a stable structure, allowing it to store carbon in the soil for many years. This long-term carbon sequestration helps reduce the harmful effects of carbon dioxide on the environment.
Metallurgical Industry:
Biochar serves as an eco-friendly reducing agent in metal smelting. It can replace traditional coke and coal, aiding in the removal of oxygen from metal ores and promoting metal extraction. Compared to fossil fuels, biochar offers the advantage of lower carbon emissions.
Water and Smell Purification:
Bamboo charcoal can be used in water purifying, household humidity adjustment, absorbing odor, retaining freshness and skin care, etc.
Align with SDGs: Eco-Friendly Bamboo Charcoal Production Investment
Investing in a bamboo charcoal making machine aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enhancing both environmental and social outcomes. By supporting bamboo charcoal production and applications, you contribute to:
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
You gain clean biochar fuel and utilize syngas in production.
- reduce reliance on traditional coal and other non-renewable fuels;
- lower greenhouse gas emissions;
- provide a more eco-friendly fuel option.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
You can recycle rapidly growing renewable bamboo waste as raw material to produce higher-value biochar. This promotes sustainable resource management and encourages a circular economy.
SDG 13: Climate Action
The use of bamboo charcoal in various applications aids in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting climate resilience through carbon sequestration.
SDG 15: Life on Land
Bamboo biochar’s improvements to soil health can help restore degraded land and damaged ecosystems. This helps maintain biodiversity.
Prepare Suitable Bamboo Waste for Charcoal Making
Due to its unique characteristics and rapid growth, bamboo is an excellent raw material for charcoal production. The Beston bamboo biochar machine processes different kinds of waste bamboo, such as bamboo chips, poles, strips, fiber, sawdust, and pellets.
How to Make Bamboo Charcoal?
01Prereatment for Bamboo Materials
- Drying: Keep bamboo moisture is below 15% for better pyrolysis (carbonization) effect.
- Crushing and screening: Keep bamboo materials size is between 5mm and 20mm for faster reaction efficiency.
02Preheating Biochar Reactor
Preheat biochar reactor for 60 to 90 minutes. Once the desired temperature is reached, you can begin feeding the material. The pyrolysis reaction will produce enough syngas. The external heat source can be adjusted based on the amount of gas generated, allowing for timely shutdown.
Note: Initial heating can be done using diesel, LPG, or natural gas, but different burners need to be prepared accordingly.
03Feeding Bamboo into Reactor
04Bamboo Pyrolysis/Carbonization Process
Bamboo waste undergoes drying and partial carbonization inside the inner cylinder of the reactor. A screw mechanism then pushes the material into the outer cylinder, where complete carbonization occurs. Finally, the screw pushes the material to the discharge outlet.
- Reaction Duration: Approximately 15 to 25 minutes.
- Reaction Temperature: 380°C to 450°C.
05Bamboo Biochar Discharging
Customers can choose whether to collect wood tar and wood vinegar based on their needs.

Optional Bamboo Charcoal Briquette Machine: Add Value with Ease
A bamboo charcoal briquette machine significantly enhances the value of bamboo charcoal by transforming loose bamboo biochar powder into compact, energy-dense briquettes (rod, spherical, cubic, and hexagonal shapes, etc.). Here’s how it boosts the utility and value of bamboo charcoal:
Higher Energy Density
Briquetting bamboo charcoal increases its energy density, making it an efficient and longer-burning fuel. This characteristic makes bamboo charcoal briquettes popular for cooking, heating, and industrial uses, providing a cost-effective alternative to conventional fuels like coal or wood.
Compact Form and Easy Storage
Bamboo charcoal briquettes are compact and uniform, allowing for easier storage, transportation, and handling compared to loose bamboo charcoal. This consistency appeals to customers, especially in bulk, because it reduces wastage and facilitates efficient storage.
Higher Market Value
Briquetting adds significant commercial value to bamboo charcoal by creating a refined product that’s ready for diverse uses. Compared to raw bamboo charcoal, briquettes fetch a higher price in the market, especially with increasing demand for eco-friendly alternatives.
Factory Testing: Actual Operation of Bamboo Charcoal Machine
Test Report of Resulting Bamboo Biochar
Indicator introduction: What You Should Concern
Fixed Carbon Content
The fixed carbon content in bamboo pyrolysis biochar is a crucial indicator of its quality. Higher fixed carbon content suggests a more stable biochar, which effectively sequesters carbon and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Volatile Matter Content
The volatile matter content of biochar provides insights into its carbonization degree. Lower volatile matter indicates higher carbonization, enhancing the stability and durability of the biochar for long-term applications.
Ash Content
Ash content is an important measure of biochar purity. A lower ash content reflects a higher quality biochar, which is more desirable for soil applications.
Sulfur Content
Sulfur content does indeed directly affect the application of biochar. Generally, lower sulfur levels are preferable, as they can reduce the negative environmental impacts of biochar during use.
Laboratory Report on Bamboo Biochar
You can see the carbonized bamboo biochar has high fixed carbon content, low sulfur content, and relatively low ash and volatile matter content. This implies high quality.
