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!

There was a posting recently stating that it makes excellent charcoal. Some
group in Jordan make a great deal of money out of it

<pre>Hi Mike

In Jordan there is a few ventures making charcoal from the olive pomace. It
makes good sense and a good source of energy.

Here is a couple of informative sites about the subject.

I have to run, but this is a very good subject and should discuss it further.

Best regards

<pre>Olive pressing wastes are used to make charcoal in Jordan. The commercial
charcoal, for grills, braziers, water-pipes, etc., is the best selling
charcoal in Jordan, prefered over other types of charcoal. There are
at least 2 companies making charcoal in Jordan. I was unable to view the
process at either company, it seems they are worried about people stealing
their manufacturing process. I've tried the charcoal and it burns
wonderfully.

The charcoal is circular in cross section, about 3 cm in diameter. The
length of the chunks varies. Maybe it is charred in a closed pipe of some
kind.

Here in Liguria the waste (pomace? we call it "sansa") is used into boilers.
I turned the question to my Italian mailing list: stay tuned for an answer.
