Green Charcoal Fact Sheet

What Is Green Charcoal?

Green charcoal is an economical form of alternative fuel for home cooking and industrial needs. It is a more viable alternative to LPG based cooking. It is a compact solid fuel and is not actually green in color. Its name is derived from its source rather than its appearance. It is a product of various "grassy" or cellulosic materials and enzymes processed and compressed into solid pieces much like conventional charcoal.

Green Charcoal was invented by MAPECON founder and Executive Vice-President Gonzalo O. Catan Jr. unlike ordinary charcoal, only uses what traditionally are wastage from green fields and forests. The environment is thus spared from any form of harm. It is a Bronze Medal winner in the 1996 International Inventors Contest in Geneva, Switzerland.
