Sorry Mike no idea on the pressings, other than burn them down in a sealed
container. The problem with the waste is the volatiles involved. There are
still a lot of oils involved and I really don't think it'd make good charcoal.
But there is an alternative.

Burn your prunings down to coals and shovel them into your grill or pit. It'll
make some of the finest tasting BBQ you ever had. GUARANTEED! We do this all
the time at our farm in Western Greece and the results are fantastic, no matter
what meat you use. Hell, tofu would probably taste good cooked over olive wood
coals!
