As the world moves toward renewable energy, Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) has gained massive attention as a clean and affordable biomass fuel.
It’s now one of the most exported palm-based products from Indonesia and Malaysia.

Here’s why PKS is the future of biomass energy:

  1. High Calorific Value – PKS produces strong and stable heat output, making it ideal for biomass boilers and power plants.

  2. Eco-Friendly Alternative to Coal – Using PKS reduces carbon emissions while maintaining efficiency.

  3. Abundant Supply in Indonesia – Indo Palm Supply sources directly from trusted mills across Sumatra and Kalimantan.

  4. Cost-Effective Fuel – Lower price per ton compared to other renewable biomass options.

  5. Global Demand Growth – Countries like Japan, Korea, and the EU are increasingly switching to PKS for energy production.
