What We Do

  • Our Operations
    Australian Char's production facility is located on the extensive brown coalfields of the Latrobe Valley about 150 kilometres east of Melbourne. Victoria’s reserves are abundant and provide a consistent supply of raw material. With a capacity of about 80,000 tonnes per annum, the Char Plant commenced operations in 1970. The low ash and sulphur contents of the char produced here represent outstanding low levels of carbon impurity by world standards. Its reactivity in various applications is comparable to hardwood charcoal.
    Australian Char's Head Office is located in Melbourne.
     
  • Our Consumer Businesses
    Heat Beads®
    Australian Char manufactures the iconic Heat Beads® barbecue fuel brand that enjoys high brand recognition and consumer acceptance as a quality product, accounting for its dominance of the market for solid barbecue fuel throughout Australia. The brand is also exported to Europe with great success. To support this export focus, Australian Char also manufactures charcoal briquettes at Collie in Western Australia.
