I came across this product in a new magazine called "Green Ideas". Carbon Scape, a company based in Blenheim, has developed an activated carbon product that is not only cheaper, but it has the potential to replace coal and cut steel mill emissions by 31%. This new product is generated from sawdust - wood waste from the milling industry. The company has won some international awards for sustainable technology in the development of this product.

See their website for more information:

There is masses of information on this website about activated carbon and about other products as well. It looks as though activated carbon can be used to soak up CO2 emissions too and clean water, another product biochar can be used to reduce leaching from soil and to improve soil quality. This is a website well worth taking some time to read and digest.
Don't forget to post your comments and thoughts.
