Char or charcoal is the residue created on pyrolysis of wood and fossil fuel.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material. It takes place at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. It is irreversible and involves a simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase. It is derived from the Greek words pyro which means fire and lysis which means separating.

The answer of your question is charcoal or char.
On pyrolysis wood and fossil fuel char.

 Pyrolysis occur at very high temperature when there is no oxygen or air .This phenomenon is most common to the organic material  The result of which is the production of gas and liquid with the production of solid carbon. But if the pyrolysis is extreme only the carbon residue remains

This process is used in the chemical industries in order to produce the charcoal, activated carbon as well as the methanol etc.
