“…The LHV of holm oak charcoal, ≈27 MJ/kg (dry basis), can be taken as a reference value, since this charcoal is perceived by consumers (and producers) as of high quality; again, minor differences in LHV were found between the 10 charcoal types obtained here (see Table 2). Regarding density, Júnior [37] referred that consumers often associate highdensity charcoals with quality barbeques, having the notion that it means lower friability, fewer fines, and the possibility of preparing more food. In addition, there are other aspects linking density to charcoal quality perceptions.…”

Charcoal production in Portugal is mostly based on the valorization of woody residues from cork oak and holm oak, the latter being considered a reference feedstock in the market. Nevertheless, since wildfire prevention became a priority in Portugal, after the recent dramatic wildfires, urgent actions are being conducted to reduce the fuel load in the forests, which is increasing the amount of biomass that is available for valorization. Additionally, biomass residues from agriculture, forest management, control of invasive species, partially burnt wood from post-fire recovery actions, and waste wood from storm devastated forests need also to be considered within the national biomass valorization policies. This has motivated the present work on whether the carbonization process can be used to valorize alternative woody biomasses not currently used on a large scale. For this purpose, slow pyrolysis experiments were carried out with ten types of wood, using a fixed bed reactor allowing the controlled heating of large fuel particles at 0.1 to 5 °C/min and final temperatures within 300–450 °C. Apart from an evaluation of the mass balance of the process, emphasis was given to the properties of the resulting charcoals considering its major market in Portugal—barbecue charcoal for both recreational and professional purposes.
