Creating bamboo charcoal

Bamboo charcoal is created in four stages according to temperature. The first involves a slow drying process to remove water while retaining the integrity of the bamboo. The second stage further heats the bamboo and changes the chemical composition of the product. The third stage transforms the bamboo into liquids, gas and solid matter. And the fourth stage refines the bamboo, emits unwanted substances and creates the charcoal bamboo which is then shaped into various sizes for use in homes and offices. Bamboo charcoal is 10 times more porous than traditional charcoal.
