Biomass · Charcoal
Palm kernel shell, graded.
A by-product of the Indonesian palm industry, screened at origin and supplied against ISCC and GGL chain-of-custody.
- Calorific value
- 3,800–4,800kcal/kg
- Fixed carbon
- 18–24%
- Moisture
- ≤15%
- Incoterms
- FOB / CIF
Nothing is grown for this fuel. The shell already exists as waste at every palm oil mill — the work is getting it clean, dry and onto a vessel without losing the calorific value you contracted for.
Five stages, one chain of custody.
A drop-in solid fuel on arrival.
Dense, uniform and low in sulphur and chlorine — suited to dedicated biomass plant and to coal co-firing without capital modification.

Sustainability certification
Certified chain-of-custody from mill to vessel, audited against EU renewable-energy criteria.
Green Gold Label
Independent traceability standard for sustainable biomass sourcing.
Not grown to burn
Palm kernel shell is a residue of oil extraction, not a dedicated energy crop.
