Introduction
As the world shifts towards green energy, Palm Kernel Shell has become a frontrunner in the biomass industry. In our 2025 energy outlook, PKS stands out as a high-calorific, low-ash fuel source.
Industries ranging from power plants to industrial boilers are switching to Palm Kernel Shell to reduce carbon footprints and operational costs.
Why Choose Palm Kernel Shell?
The primary advantage of Palm Kernel Shell is its high energy density. It burns cleaner than coal and is readily available in tropical regions.
- High Calorific Value: Averaging 4,000 kcal/kg.
- Low Sulfur: Minimizes corrosive impact on boilers.
Technical Specifications
Understanding the specs is key. High-quality Palm Kernel Shell typically features moisture content below 20% and minimal impurities. This makes it compatible with Palm Kernel Expeller logistics chains often used in combined shipments.

Environmental Impact
Using Palm Kernel Shell is a direct step towards carbon neutrality. Authority sites like IEA (International Energy Agency) highlight biomass as a critical transition fuel. Unlike fossil fuels, PKS releases carbon that was recently absorbed by the palm tree, closing the carbon cycle.
