Sustainable Biomass Fuel for Industrial Applications
Premium Quality Renewable Energy Solution
As a leading palm kernel shell supplier, we provide high quality products that meet international standards. Our palm shell is sourced from sustainable palm oil processing, offering an eco-friendly alternative fuel solution for various industrial and energy generation needs.
Reliable Biomass for Modern Energy
Our palm kernel shell PKS represents one of the most efficient biomass fuel sources available today. With a palm kernel shell calorific value of 4049 Kcal/kg, this palm nut shell delivers exceptional heat output for power generation and industrial heating applications.
Oil palm shells are waste from palm oil processing that offer remarkable advantages due to fiber content, moisture of 11 to 13 percent, and low ash intensity. The shell palm material features high evaporation rate and ease of processing. Because oil palm can be widely produced in Indonesia, utilizing shell palm oil waste as biomass provides long term sustainability and environmental benefits.
