🔥 Introduction
As global industries shift from coal to renewable energy, Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) has become one of the most demanded biomass fuels in Asia and Europe.
Indonesia, being the world’s largest palm oil producer, supplies high-quality PKS with consistent volume — making it a reliable source for power plants and industrial users.
At Indo Palm Supply, we provide export-grade PKS ready for international markets such as Japan, Korea, and Europe.
🌍 What is Palm Kernel Shell (PKS)?
PKS is the hard outer shell that protects the palm kernel inside the fruit.
After the palm oil extraction process, these shells are collected, cleaned, and processed as biomass energy.
It’s a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that helps industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining high energy efficiency.
💡 Why Industries Choose PKS
✅ High energy value comparable to low-rank coal
✅ Renewable & eco-friendly (carbon-neutral source)
✅ Stable supply from palm oil production
✅ Competitive price compared to wood pellets or coal
✅ Easy handling for industrial boilers and power plants
Many energy companies are switching to PKS as part of their green energy transition.
🚢 PKS Export Market from Indonesia
Indonesia exports millions of tons of PKS annually, mainly to:
🇯🇵 Japan (biomass power generation)
