Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal

What Is Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal?

Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal (PKS Charcoal) is a premium-grade charcoal produced by carbonizing the hard shell of palm kernels. This natural byproduct of the palm oil industry is highly valued globally for its clean energy, low smoke emission, and high calorific value. It is an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels and hardwood charcoal, making it a sustainable biofuel for industrial, commercial, and domestic use.
