Palm Kernel Shells (PKS)
A by-product of Malaysia's palm oil industry rapidly becoming the Asia-Pacific's hottest biomass feedstock, exported to Japan and South Korea.
About This Product
Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is a by-product of the palm oil industry, but is quickly becoming a significant source of feedstock for biomass energy generation. Biomass residues from palm oil enterprises are an appealing sustainable power source fuel in Southeast Asia.
As a major exporter of palm oil, Malaysia produces large quantities of Palm Kernel Shells that are well established as a solid biomass fuel source.
The abundance of these biomass assets is expanding with the rapid development of palm oil enterprises in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
In the palm oil value chain there is a general excess of by-products and the usage pace of these by-products is low — PKS represents a key opportunity to convert waste to energy.
