Introduction
As the world moves toward carbon neutrality, co-firing technology — mixing biomass with coal — is becoming a preferred method to reduce emissions.
One of the most reliable biomass fuels for this purpose is Palm Kernel Shell (PKS), a renewable and carbon-neutral by-product of the palm oil industry.
Indonesia has become a major exporter of PKS to Japan, South Korea, and Europe, supplying thousands of tons every month for biomass and co-firing projects.
Why Power Plants Choose PKS
⚡ High Energy Value: Calorific value between 4000–4600 kcal/kg.
🌍 Low Carbon Emission: PKS is renewable and environmentally friendly.
💨 Efficient Burning: Low ash and moisture levels ensure smooth combustion.
📦 Bulk Supply Capacity: Suitable for continuous power plant operation.
PKS offers a lower carbon footprint compared to coal, helping companies meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) targets.
