Palm oil shells are waste from the palm oil industry’s processing that hasn’t been fully utilized, as well as palm kernel waste. Palm oil shells offer several advantages and are in high demand due to their fiber content, moisture content of 11-13 percent, low ash intensity, high evaporation rate, little residue from the palm oil component, and ease of processing.

Because oil palm can be widely produced in Indonesia, the benefits of utilizing oil palm shells as biomass are long-term. The advantages of using oil palm shells as biomass are that it is more effective, efficient, and ecologically benign.
