Basics

This page shows how Biomass turns into Charcoal (Both in the "Raw" sense, and potentially more "refined" forms such as pellets/standard dimention "briquettes" etc) in various workflows
The main focuses on workflows optimized for high quality products (Via washing to produce as pure of carbon as possible, and making more standardized dimentions of material (via Powderization , Pellitization , and potentially conversion into a Slurry ), and efficiency via Energy Recovery (Mainly utilization of Syngas and/or Pyrolysis Oil to reduce heating fuel needs, and Heat Exchangers for thermal recovery)
This is not for use as Activated Carbon , for that see the Activated Carbon Workflow

Biomass->Kiln->Charcoal Out
With potential storage between steps
Biomass can be peletized, but for a very basic workflow this will most likely not be needed, unless using fuel crops such as grasses etc that will not form "chunky" charcoal like wood etc would

This is designed to produce the best product, extract as many useful products as possible, and mainly be used in makerspace level and up
