What is Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal?
Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal (PKS Charcoal) is a premium grade, carbon-rich biochar derived from the shells of palm nuts. Produced through a controlled carbonization process, PKS Charcoal is recognized globally for its exceptional heat value, low ash content, and sustainable origin. It is one of the most efficient biomass-based fuels available today, widely used in both domestic and industrial sectors.
Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited offers high-quality PKS Charcoal with consistent specifications, carefully processed to meet the standards of international buyers.
