“Biocoal offers Solutions for Mankind”
“The Promise of Green Coal” – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The Untapped Resource
It is estimated that in the EU, food waste, garden waste, coffee grains and brewers grain alone amount to 130+ million tonnes of organic waste available annually for conversion into biofuel. The volume represents a potential saving of approximately 80 millions tonnes of CO2 per year by converting the 130m tonnes into biocoal and using this to replace fossil coal for energy generation. Antaco’s technology can utilise all biowaste.

Learn More About How We Make Biocoal
Biocoal is made from all types of organic wastes which represent an abundantly available resource. We have developed and patented a revolutionary process that turns organic waste into a high-heat value superior biofuel.
“Compared to the conversion of biomass to (liquid) biofuels, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is at least ten times larger”
