Cashew Shell Biomass Pellets are an innovative renewable fuel produced from cashew nut shells – a by-product of Vietnam’s cashew processing industry. After extracting Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL), the remaining shells are processed, dried, and compressed into uniform pellets. With calorific value of 4200–4800 kcal/kg, low sulfur content, and stable supply, these pellets are a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to coal.
⚙️ Technical Specifications
- 📏 Diameter: 6–8 mm
- 📐 Length: 10–30 mm
- 💧 Moisture: ≤10%
- 🌫️ Ash: 2–4%
- 🔥 Calorific value: 4200–4800 kcal/kg
- ♻️ Sulfur: nearly zero
- ⚖️ Bulk density: 1.1–1.3 g/cm³
These specifications make cashew shell pellets suitable for biomass power plants, boilers, food processing, textiles, and ceramics.
🌍 Export Market Potential
Vietnam processes over 2.2 million MT of raw cashew annually, generating ~1.5 million MT of cashew shells. This provides a consistent raw material base for pellet production.
- Japan: >3.5 million MT biomass pellet imports annually, strong subsidies for renewable energy.
- South Korea: demand 2.5–3 million MT/year, Vietnam accounts for ~40% of imports.
- EU: Germany, Netherlands, Denmark push biomass to meet Net Zero goals.
