Development of performance measurement framework for biomass smokeless charcoal production

Abstract

Charcoal provides basic energy requirement in the process of heating. Many households in Thailand use charcoal as an essential energy requirement. Meanwhile, as a commercial consumption of charcoal, Smokeless charcoal has become more high growth among grill restaurants. There are various types of smokeless charcoal that depend on material residue types to produce. The production process of charcoal involves air pollution and health. For sustainability of production biomass smokeless charcoal, economic aspect, environmental aspect, and social aspect are considered for long term production. This paper aimed to develop a framework for the sustainability of biomass smokeless charcoal production. The outcomes of a framework will evaluate the sustainability performance of smokeless charcoal production.
