What Is Palm Kernel Shell?
Palm Kernel Shell is the hard outer shell separated from palm kernels during palm oil processing. Its solid structure makes it suitable for biomass fuel and other industrial applications where a renewable solid material is required.
Available PKS Supply Forms
Screened and Cleaned PKS (Export Standard)
Mechanically sieved and magnetically cleaned. Fiber-free, low ash (below 3% for this grade) and controlled moisture (≤ 20%). The grade most requested as biomass power plant fuel.
PKS Pellet (Pellet Cangkang Sawit) — on buyer request
Crushed shell compacted into cylindrical pellets of 6–8 mm diameter. High bulk density saves vessel space, with very low moisture (below 10%).
Carbonized PKS (Arang Cangkang Sawit) — on buyer request
Produced through oxygen-free carbonization into dense black charcoal — a feedstock for activated carbon or high-calorie industrial briquettes.
Screened and cleaned PKS is our standard export grade. Pellet and carbonized forms are arranged on buyer request; the final specification is confirmed per shipment.
Where PKS Is Used
Energy and Fuel
Biomass power plants and industrial boilers, co-firing with coal, and cement kilns as a coal substitute.
Carbon and Derivatives
Carbonized shell charcoal, activated carbon for industrial filtration, biochar, and fertilizer urea absorbent.
Construction Material
Lightweight concrete aggregate, suited to buildings in humid tropical climates.
PKS Applications
Biomass Power and Industrial Boilers
PKS can be used as a renewable solid biomass fuel for power plants, industrial boilers, and energy systems designed to handle palm-based biomass.
Activated Carbon
Selected PKS can be evaluated as a raw material for activated carbon production, subject to required size, moisture, ash, and carbonization parameters.
Industrial Heating
PKS may be considered for industrial heating and processing applications that require a consistent renewable solid fuel.
Why Source PKS Through Ciport Global?
- Supply coordination from East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
- Buyer-specific requirements for size, moisture, ash, and packaging.
- Bulk and container shipment coordination.
- Support with product specification and Certificate of Analysis.

Buyers seeking a reliable Palm Kernel Shell Supplier Indonesia get clear specifications, transparent documentation, and a confirmed loading schedule before every shipment.
In addition to Palm Kernel Shell, Ciport Global also supplies Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) — the PKS we supply is separated at our own facility during PKE processing, so buyers can source both palm by-products from a single exporter.
Quality and Logistics
Before shipment, we align the product specification, volume, packing, destination, loading plan, and shipment terms. Depending on the agreed transaction and destination, documents may include a commercial invoice, packing list, Certificate of Origin, shipping documents, and Certificate of Analysis.
Export documentation and customs clearance follow Indonesia’s official PEB requirements as regulated by Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai.
PKS is sold FOB at the agreed East Kalimantan port (e.g. Balikpapan, Samarinda, Bontang or Berau); loading arrangements depend on quantity, vessel or container plan, and packing as per the buyer’s requirement. Our team coordinates closely with buyers throughout the process to ensure the agreed PKS specification, packaging, and shipment schedule are met consistently across each order.
As a Palm Kernel Shell Supplier Indonesia, Ciport Global applies the same specification check to every shipment, regardless of order size or destination.
How to Request a PKS Quotation
- Send destination port, quantity, intended application, target moisture or ash, and preferred shipment form.
- We review current availability and indicative specification.
- We confirm the FOB price, loading port, documentation, and loading schedule.
- The agreed specification and shipment terms are recorded before loading.
These details help buyers evaluate Ciport Global as a consistent Palm Kernel Shell Supplier Indonesia for both bulk and container shipments.
Key Demand Markets for Indonesian PKS
Japan is the main market for Indonesian PKS — it takes the large majority of Indonesia’s PKS exports for biomass power generation. Other examples of demand include South Korea, Europe and Bulgaria (biomass energy). These are examples of demand, not a list of existing buyers — Ciport Global supplies PKS on FOB terms to any destination country based on the buyer’s requirements.
