Technology in numbers
From 2,000 to 6,000 tonnes of certified industrial charcoal per year — from a single line, on a 600 m² footprint, operated by a team of 14 to 17 people.
They reflect over 80 years of Lambiotte process development and active commercial operation across Europe.
The system's 15-year average operational lifetime, combined with minimal power consumption (40–60 kW) and full pyrolysis gas reuse, means that once it runs, it keeps running — with predictable costs and consistent output, batch after batch.

The quality of charcoal meets the strict standards of DIN+ (Germany), EN 18606 –2 (France)

2008
Livani, LV
In 2008 the charcoal production was finally finished and launched in Livani.
Capacity: 4000t/y
The company successfully attracted additional 1.5M EUR of European Funds for infrastructure.
The company was operating until 2013 selling charcoal to France.

2018
Mikeli, FI
In 2018 the company has received an order to construct the charcoal production facility in Finland (Mikelli) for 6000 t/y. BaltCarbon has performed all the works and launched the factory in 2019.
2022
Laudona, LV
Livani project reconstructed and with new dryer concept was re-launched by Carbon Energy Systems in 2022 in Laudona, LV.
Sustainability and Carbon Offset
BaltCarbon's technology doesn't just minimize environmental harm — it actively contributes to reversing it. From the way we source feedstock to the way we handle every byproduct, sustainability is built into every stage of the process.
- Zero Fossil Fuel InputThe Lambiotte process runs entirely on renewable biomass. All pyrolysis gases are combusted inside the system — no venting, no external fossil fuel, full EU IED compliance.
- Closed-Loop Energy RecoverySurplus heat from carbonization is recycled back into drying and production. Lower energy costs, zero waste, complete operational self-sufficiency.
- Carbon Credits generationEvery installation qualifies for carbon offset certification under Gold Standard, Puro.Earth, and Verra VCS — generating an additional revenue stream on top of charcoal sales.
