High-quality charcoal

Carboliva is a company based in Osuna (Sevilla), operated by Álvaro Espuny, Andalusian businessman in the oil sector and with generations of experience in the biomass of olive groves.

Our work is focused on the evaluation of olive grove biomasses, from which we create high quality charcoal and produce clean and sustainable thermal energy.

We seek sustainability in everything we do, and for that we apply the latest innovations and the most advanced quality control systems. By doing so, we also make Carboliva a profitable business, capable of distributing our product all around the globe.

Values

We base our work on three essential pillars. These pillars support our constant growth and evolution as a company so that we can satisfy our clients in harmony with the environment:

Icono_Innovacion_Carboliva

Innovation

It forms the basis of all we do. We have a modern system for producing charcoal and the subsequent and continual reuse of the residual heat. This way, we avoid emissions into the atmosphere and generate clean energy.

Icono_Calidad_Carboliva

Quality

Among our equipment we have integrated control systems that allow us to achieve a homogeneous product that exceeds the European Union’s strictest quality standards.

Icono_Sostenibilidad_Carboliva

Circular economy and sustainability

It is the reason for our existence. We provide sustainable solutions both for the production of oil and for the manufacture of charcoal. Perfect example of circular economy: 0 waste, 0 deforestation and neutral emissions.

Activity

Our business activity can be divided into two lines:
Logo_Carboliva

Charcoal production

From the biomass of the olive grove we produce high quality charcoal. This type of coal provides great advantages to both industry and individuals.
Our charcoal has a high calorific value and is respectful of the environment. Sustainable solution that complies with the increasingly demanding regulations regarding emissions into the atmosphere.

Charcoal Uses:

– Charcoal for Barbecues
– Activated carbon
– Biochar
– Low emission fuel
– Green steel production
– Carbon Abatement

On-site thermal energy production

We produce thermal energy from the olive pit and pulp: clean energy that contributes to the reduction of emissions.
Use of this type of energy is a sustainable solution according to the Air Quality Regulations since it remains well below the current emission limits and even the forecasted limits in the future.

Uses of thermal energy:

– Two-phase pomace drying
– Drying of wood chips
– Production of steam
– Heating
– Electricity generation

Our charcoal

Biochar is a high quality charcoal obtained from the biomass of olive pits and pulp, which improves the properties of the soil, favours water retention capacity, increases fertility and promotes microbial activity. In this way, Biochar becomes the best ally for improving the quality of your crop in every way and, furthermore, it contributes to the prevention of global warming by sequestering carbon.

Green Steel is manufactured using renewable energy and innovative technologies that minimise carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, it drastically reduces the impact of the steel industry and promotes the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon economy and low in CO2.

It also helps companies reduce their footprint and comply with environmental regulations.

The term Carbon Abatement refers to all strategies and technologies aimed at reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide emissions: carbon capture and storage, adoption of renewable energies, reforestation, use of sustainable agricultural techniques… All this helps to curb global warming, reduces the carbon footprint of companies, fosters technological development and opens up new economic opportunities.

Charcoal is produced from olive pits and pulp in a process that reduces the volatile content to less than 20%. This type of charcoal, being of renewable origin, is a more sustainable alternative for power generation and heating that helps to reduce the environmental impact.

This product is made from olive pits and pulp and is therefore a more sustainable alternative to traditional charcoal. Being of vegetable origin, this charcoal burns more cleanly and efficiently, generating less waste and fewer emissions than other traditionally made charcoals. Its high calorific value and long-lasting embers make it ideal for professional barbecues.
