Charcoal is a product obtained from the carbonization of organic materials, such as wood. It is produced by heating the raw material in the absence of oxygen, resulting in a solid and porous material.
Charcoal is widely used as a fuel, especially in cooking processes and barbecues, due to its high calorific value and long-lasting duration.
It is also used in industrial applications, such as gas and liquid filtration, and in the manufacture of chemicals and medicinal products.
Additionally, charcoal has environmental benefits, as it can be obtained from renewable sources.
