NextCarbon / Substitute coal and decarbonize with biomass coal
Popular
What we do
Our company specializes in producing and selling a new standard of biomass charcoal made from underutilized coconut shells and husks that are typically discarded and can be used in the steel industry.
The classic and modern appeal of charcoal
Have you ever heard of charcoal? Charcoal is a type of fuel produced by heating wood or bamboo. Almost anything of various organic and biological origins can be made into charcoal.
There is a growing interest in using "charcoal" as a substitute for coal, as it is considered a viable alternative biomass fuel.
- Attraction 1: Biomass-derived for decarbonization
- Attraction 2: Compatible with a variety of materials
- Attraction 3: Secondary use of resources with waste
Company's story
Our Specialty
Our company aims to replace about 10-20% of the approximately 60 million tons of coal (Source: White Paper on Energy Conservation in the Economy and Industry 2023)used in the Japanese steel industry with biomass coal produced from coconut shells.
Charcoal made from coconut shells has a low ash content, which allows for high heat and combustion efficiency. In addition to its high functionality as charcoal, due to its high global harvest and the fact that it does not require new logging, we considered coconut-derived biomass charcoal to be a suitable alternative to coal.
Manufacturing and selling biomass charcoal made from coconut shells
The raw material for our product will be coconuts purchased from the Philippines.
Although the Philippines produces about 15 million coconuts annually (source: FAO), the shells are typically discarded. However, we plan to upcycle them into biomass charcoal, which will not only help to reduce waste but also provide a source of income for local farmers.
We have already developed biomass charcoal that can be used practically in some steelmaking processes.
Going forward, we will continue to develop variations of biomass charcoal to expand the range of practical processes even further.

Our story
Our plan is to establish a reliable supply chain with a major steel company and establish a large-scale charcoal manufacturing plant in the Philippines by utilizing our extensive experience in operating a carbonization center in Japan.With this initiative, we aim to establish a production system that can complete the entire process locally and support local farmers as a source of income.
In the upcoming years, we plan to establish a supply system on a large scale, taking advantage of economies of scale to address cost issues. Our primary objective is to establish our brand as a prominent biomass manufacturer in Asia and to promote the use of biomass fuels in society.
We aim to promote carbon neutrality by proposing alternative fuels for coal-dependent industries to build a sustainable future.
