Cashew Husk Pellet is a renewable biomass fuel derived from cashew husks – the outer shells of cashew nuts left after extracting Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL). Through drying, grinding, and high-pressure pelletizing, cashew husks are converted into clean, uniform pellets with high calorific value. This product provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to coal, widely applied in biomass power plants, boilers, ceramics, textiles, and food processing.
⚙️ Technical Properties
- 📏 Diameter: 6–8 mm
- 📐 Length: 10–30 mm
- 💧 Moisture: ≤10%
- 🌫️ Ash: 2–4%
- 🔥 Calorific value: 4,200–4,800 kcal/kg
- ♻️ Sulfur: nearly zero
- ⚖️ Bulk density: 1.1–1.3 g/cm³
These specifications ensure stable performance, competitive efficiency, and suitability for large-scale industrial energy consumption.
🌍 Market Analysis & Export Potential
Vietnam, the world’s leading cashew processor, generates over 1.5 million MT of cashew husks annually, creating a solid raw material base for pellet production. This advantage positions Vietnam as a reliable supplier of industrial biomass fuel to global markets.
- Japan: imports over 3.5 million MT of biomass pellets annually, with government subsidies encouraging renewable energy use. Cashew husk pellets fit Japan’s demand for cost-competitive fuel.
- South Korea: consumes ~2.5–3 million MT/year, with Vietnam already supplying nearly 40% of imports. Buyers increasingly seek alternative biomass beyond wood pellets.
- European Union: Germany, Netherlands, and Denmark are shifting away from coal. Biomass, including cashew husk pellets, plays a crucial role in meeting carbon neutrality targets by 2050.
💰 FOB Vietnam Price: currently around 500 USD/MT, depending on quality and certification. This places cashew husk pellets in a competitive range versus wood pellets while offering stable calorific value.
🏷️ Certification & Standards
To access premium markets, cashew husk pellets must comply with:
- 🌱 FSC (sustainable sourcing)
- 📑 ENplus A2 / ISO 17225-6 biomass standards
- 🧪 Lab test reports (calorific value, moisture, ash)
- 📊 Sustainability reports proving CO₂ reduction compared to coal
