01 — Overview

Palm Kernel Shell · Biomass Fuel

A Reliable Biomass Fuel for the Global Energy Transition

Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is a renewable biomass fuel obtained as a by-product of the palm oil industry. With its high calorific value, low moisture content, and excellent combustion efficiency, PKS has become one of the most preferred alternatives to coal for industries seeking cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.

At Rashmi 6 Paradigm Limited, we combine responsible sourcing practices, modern processing infrastructure, and efficient export logistics to supply premium-grade PKS to customers across Asia, Europe, and other international markets.

Through our strategic operations in Indonesia, we ensure consistent product quality, dependable supply, and timely deliveries, helping industries achieve greater energy efficiency while reducing their environmental footprint.

02 — Why Palm Kernel Shell?

A Smart Alternative to Conventional Fossil Fuels

Palm Kernel Shell offers several operational and environmental advantages, making it an ideal renewable fuel for industrial energy applications.

Key Benefits

High Calorific Value

Delivers approximately 4,000–4,500 kcal/kg — strong thermal output comparable to sub-bituminous coal for industrial boilers and power plants.

Low Moisture Content

Naturally low moisture (typically 8–12%) reduces energy loss during combustion and improves boiler efficiency with less pre-heating required.

Low Ash Generation

Minimal ash residue (around 2–3%) lowers disposal costs and reduces boiler maintenance downtime compared to conventional fossil fuels.

Excellent Combustion Efficiency

Uniform shell size and density ensure steady, complete combustion with consistent heat release across industrial firing systems.

Renewable & Sustainable Fuel

Derived from palm oil processing by-products, PKS repurposes agricultural waste into a circular, renewable energy resource.

Lower Carbon Emissions

Replacing coal with PKS significantly reduces net CO₂ emissions, helping industries progress toward renewable energy and ESG targets.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Coal

Competitive pricing relative to coal and gas, with stable supply from abundant palm industry feedstock in Southeast Asia.

Consistent Fuel Quality

Rigorous screening, grading, and moisture control at source ensure uniform calorific value and particle size in every shipment.

Easy Storage & Handling

Free-flowing shell material stores well in open or covered yards and handles easily with standard bulk conveying equipment.

Reliable Year-Round Availability

Continuous palm oil production in Indonesia ensures dependable year-round supply without seasonal shortages.
