Palm kernel shell (PKS) is actually the by-product from palm oil industry, before the era for palm kernel shell being used as biomass, the oil palm owner will bury the palm kernel shell underneath the land and let it becomes black color palm kernel compost. This is sort of organic fertilizer but because of the hard shell, it takes much longer time for converting totally to organic fertilizer. It is well known biomass product because of it small in size and high in heat energy or calorific value. Palm kernel is kernel from oil palm fruit. After the oil palm fruit gone through the palm oil process, the kernel will be separated and kernel oil will further be distilled and it also gained it status as a bio fuel resource for biomass product. It also classified as a renewable energy that complies with country energy regulation, such as Japan, Korea and Europe. Palm kernel shell also consider as the replacement for wood chip.

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil made from palm fruit. Palm fruit is the source of both palm oil (extracted from the fruit) and palm kernel oil (extracted from the seeds).
It is a light-yellow liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear yellow liquid when heated.
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is an edible oil which is extracted from the pulp of fruit of oil palms. The color of pulp is naturally reddish in colour as it contains high amounts of beta-carotene. Crude palm oil or palm oil is one of the most consumed and produced oils in the world. This easy to produce, and very stable oil is used for a wide variety of foods, cosmetics, hygiene products, and can also be used as a source of biofuel or biodiesel.
Palm Kernel Oil is produced after separating the seed from the oil palm fruit, cracking and removing the shell. It can be further processed into Crude Palm Kernel Oil and Palm Kernel Expeller or Cake. Palm Kernel Oil is commonly used as a commercial cooking oil due to its stability at high temperatures.
RBD Palm Olein is the liquid fraction of palm oil obtained by dry-fractionation process. The product is widely used in food processing industries such as confectionery, noodles, snacks, dairy beverages, canned food, etc.
