WHAT IS BIOMASS?
Biomass, also known as bioenergy, is an energy source generated from organic materials of biological origin, including: Agricultural residues (rice husks, bagasse, corn cobs, etc.) Forestry residues (sawdust, wood shavings, wood scraps, etc.) Food processing by-products (cashew shells, coffee grounds, etc.) Organic waste These materials, after processing, can be used as biomass fuel to generate […]
CASHEW SHELL RESIDUE – THE “GOLDEN FUEL” FOR VIETNAMESE BOILERS
In the context of rising prices of traditional fuels, cashew shell residue is emerging as a “golden fuel” for industrial boilers in Vietnam.Produced from by-products of the cashew processing industry, cashew shell residue offers a high calorific value (> 4,600 kcal/kg), low moisture content (< 12%), and low ash content (< 3%), enabling efficient combustion, […]
Cashew Nut Shells – Biofuel from Cashew Industry By-products
Vietnam is one of the world’s largest exporters of cashews. The process of extracting kernels generates a significant amount of cashew shells. After the extraction of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), the remaining pressed shell residue serves as a biomass fuel characterized by high, stable calorific value—a fuel that is increasingly favored in industrial applications.
