Eco-Char addresses the issues caused by traditional, environment-harming fuels like coal, wood based charcoal, furnace oil, carbon powder, and pyro-oil. By replacing these with an eco-friendly, smokeless, and high-calorific-value fuel, it directly contributes to: Smoke Elimination - Up to 95% reduction in smoke emissions (both in production method and product utilization) leading to cleaner airband and a healthier environment. Reduction in Deforestation - Utilization of biomass (crop residue) instead of wood contributes to the preservation of forests and biodiversity. Innovation for the sake of Environment:- Unlike traditional approaches, our process and kilns are specifically designed to accommodate Pakistani crop residue such as corn stovers, cotton sticks, and bagasse, ensuring a tailored and efficient production method. Zero Carbon Methodology:- Eco-Char's production process is designed to minimize negative environmental impact, aligning with a zero carbon methodology ensuring Minimal Carbon Footprint.
Environmental Impact
SDG-7: Affordable & Clean Energy The idea/project seeks to address issue of adulterated or sub-standard fuel use i.e., coal, furnace oil, carbon powder, pyro-oil, in chemical industry, smelting industry and food industry by replacing these with eco-friendly, smokeless and high calorific value fuel produced through furniture crop left-over bio-mass, furniture wood waste, sawdust etc. SDG-12: Responsible & Consumption Production The project envisage the use of biomass that is being left over after the food crop. SDG-13: Climate Action The project envisage to eliminate the burning of left-over rice stubble burning in the months of October-November which causes the dense smog in Central Punjab especially Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala and Okara.
