Why Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) Are the Future of Sustainable Energy and Animal Feed

🌿 Introduction: Turning Palm Waste into Global Opportunities

Indonesia’s palm industry produces more than just palm oil — it also creates valuable by-products that the world now depends on:
Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE).

At Indo Palm Supply, we help bridge the gap between Indonesia’s sustainable resources and global industries that demand renewable energy and high-nutrition animal feed.

🔥 What is Palm Kernel Shell (PKS)?

Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is the hard shell that protects the kernel of the oil palm fruit.
After the oil extraction process, these shells are often treated as waste — but in reality, they’re a powerful biomass fuel.

Key Features of PKS:

• High calorific value (~4,000–4,500 kcal/kg)

• Low moisture and ash content

• Easy to handle and transport

• 100% renewable and carbon-neutral

Because of its stable combustion properties, PKS is widely used in Japan, Korea, and Europe as a clean alternative to coal for power generation.

🌾 What is Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE)?

Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is the by-product obtained after oil is extracted from the kernel.
Rich in protein, fiber, and fat, it’s an excellent and affordable ingredient for animal feed, especially for cattle, sheep, and goats.

Key Benefits of PKE:

• Natural source of digestible energy

• Improves rumen function in livestock

• Cost-effective compared to traditional feed

• High sustainability value as a non-GMO feed material

Countries like New Zealand, Australia, and South Korea import thousands of tons of PKE every year to support their dairy and livestock industries.
