We are Kool

Made inland, with pride.

We are Aleatory Concept: since 2017, in Penacova, we've been turning a problem of the Portuguese forest into clean energy — and we gave it a name Mother Nature approves of.

The story

From Penacova to Europe

We were born in 2017 with a simple question: what if acacia — the invader nobody wants — was actually the best charcoal raw material in Portugal?

Today we run a 54,000 m² industrial complex at Estrela D'Alva, São Paio do Mondego, in requalified industrial facilities. We produce biochar, briquettes, shisha charcoal and pellets — always from certified wood, powered by solar energy.

We believe in balanced regional development: local jobs, skilled workers and sustainable use of the region's natural resources.
