Introduction

With global energy policy shifting toward renewables, Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) from Indonesia has emerged as a preferred biomass fuel for power plants and industrial boilers. Indo Palm Supply offers export-grade PKS ready for international use.

What is PKS?
PKS is the hard shell surrounding the palm kernel, leftover after oil extraction. Once cleaned and processed, it becomes a biomass material with high calorific value and lower carbon footprint compared with fossil fuels. Indonesian export volumes are increasing notably.

Typical Specifications & Buyer Criteria
Our PKS typically meets the following:

  • Calorific Value: ~4,000-4,500 kcal/kg

  • Moisture: <15%

  • Ash Content: <3%

  • Particle Size: 5-40 mm or per buyer spec

  • Impurity: minimal
    These specs align with global demand for biomass co-firing in Japan, Korea & EU.

Why Import PKS from Indonesia via Indo Palm Supply?

  • Indonesia: one of the largest global suppliers of PKS with increasing export volumes

  • Competitive cost structure vs traditional coal or wood pellets

  • Quality assurance and export readiness (documentation, stockpile management)

  • Sustainability credentials: biomass alternative reducing CO₂ emissions & supporting circular economy

Applications and Buyer Value

Energy companies and industrial boilers use PKS for:

  • Co-firing with coal or full biomass fuel switch

  • Renewable energy compliance (e.g., Japan’s feed-in tariff for biomass)

  • Cost-saving with lower ash and sulphur emissions
