Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) are the shell fractions left after the crushing and expelling of palm kernel oil of the palm tree. The outer fruit known as the Mesocarp Fiber, is removed and extracted to produce palm oil leaving the nut which consists of a kernel surrounded by a woody shell also known as Palm Kernel Shell.

Palm Kernel Shell is one of the top emerging biomass fuels consumed globally.
From its raw and unprocessed form, Palm Kernel Shells needs to be processed in order to reduce the high amount of contaminants such as impurities, bacteria, insects and moisture content. The processed PKS have a higher calorific values and a longer shelf life, which optimizes combustion efficiency.

We offer 2 different types of woodchip :
Tropical woodchips
Rubber woodchips
We are able to source Wood Chips under FSC or PEFC guidelines and classified as a sustainable biomass resource. The wood chips are dry processed to control moisture and eliminate contaminants, resulting in a clean and safe product. Their compact size and portability, high energy density, low moisture content and minimal net carbon output make Woodchips an attractive source of renewable energy source. In addition, our Woodchips are easily adaptable to automated combustion systems. Combined with a carefully controlled combustion, emissions can be rendered minimal. We offer varying moisture levels, depending on your requirements. The final grade and specifications of wood chip can be customized according to customers’ different requirements.
