Palm Kernel Shells are the shell fractions left after the nut has been exracted from crushig operation in the palm oil mill. This is a by-product o the palm oil industry but is fast becoming a important source of feedstock for biomass energy generation. Although always traditionally used by palm oil mills as a source of energy, interest from power generatiors is growing. Palm kernel shell is a waste product obtained after the processing of palm kernel. Palm kernel is enclosed n the shell. The shell is also encolsed in fleshy fiber,which contians palm oil. Thus palm kernel shell is obtained when the fibrous, fleshy friut has been processed to obtain palm oil. Palm kernel shells have been traditionally used as solid fuels for stream boilers in palm oil mills across Southeast Asia. The steam generated is used to run turbines for electricty production. Palm Kernl shells are versatile and have multiple uses; It can be in its natural form at power stations as a clean alternative to coal, to form activated carbon or to pave roads.
