Innovation: Seeking to offer society the best solutions to the challenges of the future.

Sustainability: Guarantee that the resources used do not mortgage the consumption that future generations will have.

A circular economy: Closing the cycle in the consumption of resources without generating any type of waste.

Quality: Being present in every detail, carefully controlling the production process.

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:

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.

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.

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:

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
