I would also be quite interested in that aspect. You mention being able to easily break the charcoal from a thigh thick log of Eucalyptus. Do you think the charcoal has a density similar to charcoal made at atmospheric pressure? If so, the charcoal resulting from your pressurised process must have a larger volume than that obtained in the conventional process. If so, what could be the explanation of that?
