Indonesia’s Charcoal Briquette Industry: Sustainable and Growing
As the world enters an era of energy transition, the demand for eco-friendly fuel alternatives is rising—especially across Europe. One product taking center stage is biomass-based charcoal briquettes. With abundant coconut resources and a strong agricultural base, Indonesia is emerging as a global leader in sustainable charcoal export.
This article explores the growth, strength, and future potential of Indonesia’s charcoal briquette industry, and why Europe is turning to it as the fuel of tomorrow.

Renewable origin (no deforestation involved)
Recycled agricultural waste
Low carbon footprint
Clean-burning properties
