Decision No.4847 on the Management of Charcoal Processing Factories and Charcoal Stoves.

This Decision establishes the principles, regulations, and measures for managing charcoal factories and kilns to ensure sustainable forest resource use. It aims to centralize the oversight of charcoal production, aligning industrial activities with national forestry preservation goals to prevent unauthorized deforestation and environmental degradation.
The Decision contains provisions to protect natural heritage by strictly regulating the sourcing of wood for charcoal production, emphasizing that raw materials must come from planted forests or designated areas rather than protected natural forests. It mandates that all charcoal facilities must obtain specific technical permits and undergo regular environmental inspections to mitigate their impact on local ecosystems. Furthermore, the Decision prohibits the establishment of kilns in sensitive conservation zones and outlines strict penalties for operations that threaten the integrity of natural forest heritage.
