COCONUT CHARCOAL BRIQUETTE

Introduction

As the world grapples with environmental challenges and rising fuel demands, the search for sustainable, affordable, and clean energy sources becomes more urgent than ever. Enter coconut briquettes — an eco-friendly alternative to traditional charcoal made from one of Indonesia's most abundant agricultural byproducts: coconut shells.

At AgroCraft Indonesia, we are proud to play a part in this green movement by producing high-quality, export-grade coconut briquettes that serve both local and international markets. This article explores how coconut briquettes are transforming modern homes and contributing to a more sustainable planet.

🔥 What Are Coconut Briquettes?

Coconut briquettes are charcoal blocks made from carbonized coconut shells, compressed under high pressure without the use of chemicals. They are increasingly being used for cooking, grilling, heating, and even for shisha due to their clean burn, long-lasting heat, and low smoke output.

Key Characteristics:

• Made from 100% natural coconut shells

• Smokeless and spark-free

• Long burn time (2–3 hours)

• Minimal ash residue

• Renewable and biodegradable

Unlike traditional wood charcoal, coconut briquettes do not require tree cutting and offer a sustainable way to recycle agricultural waste.

Benefits of Using Coconut Briquettes

1. Environmentally Friendly

Coconut briquettes reduce the need for wood-based charcoal, helping prevent deforestation. Since they’re made from waste material, their carbon footprint is much lower compared to fossil fuels or wood.

2. High Performance

They burn at a high and stable temperature for an extended period — perfect for:

• Backyard barbecues

• Restaurant grills

• Shisha cafés and lounges

3. Clean & Safe

These briquettes are:

• Odorless

• Spark-free

• Low in volatile compounds
  Which makes them suitable for indoor and enclosed spaces.

4. Economical in the Long Run

Due to their longevity and consistent performance, fewer briquettes are needed compared to wood charcoal — making them cost-effective over time.

The Global Coconut Briquette Market

Indonesia is the world’s leading producer of coconut products, with coconut shells previously considered a waste item. With growing demand for green energy, coconut briquettes are now a valuable export commodity.

How We Make It at AgroCraft Indonesia

Our coconut briquettes are manufactured in Jambi, Indonesia, under strict quality control using a multi-step, eco-conscious process:

1. Raw Material Collection

We collect discarded coconut shells from trusted suppliers and farmers.

2. Carbonization

Shells are heated in a controlled environment to produce charcoal while preserving high carbon content.

3. Grinding & Binding

Charcoal is ground into powder and combined with natural binders (like tapioca starch) — no chemical additives.

4. Pressing

Using hydraulic or mechanical presses, we shape the briquettes into hexagonal, pillow, or cube forms.

Briquettes are sun-dried or kiln-dried, then packed in eco-friendly packaging, ready for shipment.
