Yesterday, a solemn ceremony was held to celebrate the opening of a new carbonization site in Bhutan

This marks the first project in the country implemented using GreenPower’s EKKO-2 equipment. This pilot project for the ferro industry is a significant step toward integrating sustainable biomass processing technologies and producing high-quality carbon raw materials.

This project is more than just a launch; it is the beginning of a long-term partnership and a foundation for future scaling. We see immense potential in the region and are already planning the next stages of development.

GreenPower continues to steadily expand its global footprint. Our solutions are operating across continents, helping industries transition to greener and more efficient technologies. From Europe to Asia, we are setting the standards for the future today.

Bhutan has become another key point on the GreenPower map, proving that sustainable solutions are in demand worldwide.

Economic Aspects
What is the cost of producing 1 ton of charcoal?

The production cost depends on many factors and is calculated individually for each project. The main cost components are:

  1. Feedstock (main cost item):
     • Cost depends on the region and type of raw material
    • To produce 1 ton of charcoal, 2.7–4 tons of dry feedstock are required (depending on Cfix)
  2. Electricity consumption (peak load):
    • BC-2: 8 kW/h
    • BC-3: 13.6 kW/h
  3. Personnel: 2 people per shift (operator + assistant)
  4. Maintenance: not more than 5% of the unit cost per year of operation
  5. Packaging and logistics


Advantages of BIO-CARBON:

• Zero fuel costs (after startup)

• Generation of excess heat that can be utilized

• Low energy consumption

• High level of automation = low personnel costs

What is the return on investment for BIO-CARBON?

The return on investment depends on:
• feedstock cost in the region
• market price of charcoal
• productivity of the selected model
• Cfix content in the finished product
• additional income (use of excess heat)

A typical payback period is 1 to 3 years, provided production and sales are properly organized.

Factors affecting profitability:
 ✓ availability of low-cost feedstock
✓ high market demand
✓ production of high-quality charcoal (Cfix 90–95%)
✓ use of excess heat for auxiliary processes
✓ packaging automation
✓ direct contracts with end consumers

To calculate the payback period for a specific project, it is recommended to contact GreenPower specialists, who will perform a technical and economic analysis taking all factors into account.
