Sustainable charcoal production in Brazil
Charcoal has been used as a source of thermal energy since the beginning of the steel
industry in Brazil. Charcoal is used in the production of metallic iron from ore. Due to
non-existence of sulphur in its composition, charcoal improves the quality of pig iron
and steel produced. This phenomenon allows the steel industry to command attractive
prices, Today, Brazil produces about 10 million tons of pig iron using charcoal, 60%
are exported, generating an income of US$ 2.0 billion per year.
