Charcoal is a dark grey residue consisting of Carbon and any remaining ash, produced by the slow process of heating wood and other substances in the absence of oxygen, called Pyrolysis. It is an impure form of Carbon, which contains ash. However, it is an excellent domestic fuel and can be made from virtually any organic material like wood, coconut shells rice husks and bones. Usually, hardwood species like Acacia, Mangroves, Oaks and Prosopis are preferred for Charcoal production.
PALM KERNEL SHELL
Palm Kernel Shells are the natural pellet and high-grade renewable fuel for burning, as received both in co-firing with steam coal or burned at biomass power plants, usually blended with other grades of biomass, like wood chips. During the crude palm oil process, the fruit flesh is melted through a steaming treatment. The residual nuts are further mechanically crushed to extract the seeds or Kernels. The crushed shells are virgin biomass called Palm Kernel Shells (PKS).

Jatropha curcus is a drought-resistant perennial, growing well in marginal/poor soil. It is easy to establish, grows relatively quickly and lives, producing seeds for 50 years.Jatropha the wonder plant produces seeds with an oil content of 37%. The oil can be combusted as fuel without being refined. It burns with a clear smoke-free flame, tested successfully as fuel for simple diesel engine. The by-products are press cake a good organic fertilizer, the oil contains also an insecticide.

PALM KERNEL FIBRE
Fiber is a fluffy substance that also saying need larger space for storage and transporting. Palm fibre should go through compression into bale form in order to increase transport efficiency. However, Malaysian local biomass plant located not very far away from palm oil plant, hence the palm fiber is sent under the raw form. From application standpoint, raw palm fiber mostly used as biomass purpose. For other applications, such as long fiber or palm fibre pellet, those products are processed to add value. The long fibers extract from palm fiber will be sorted out as the material for making palm mattress. And we all know, China is currently the major palm mattress production base. In order to improve the efficiency in shipping, the manufacturer will compress the long fibers into bale form for the convenient shipping process from Malaysia to China. A 20-foot container, it can be fitted with about seven tons of bundled to form a long fiber.
