Figures from Admine product specs used in supply talks — not a lab certificate for every lot.
PKS usually leads on energy density. Fiber sits in the middle. Whole EFB fills volume but carries more water weight when wet.
Admine briefs PKS at 3,800–4,500 kcal/kg with moisture max 25% and ash max 5%; fiber above 2,700 kcal/kg with moisture max 40%; EFB above 1,700 kcal/kg with moisture max 55%.
Rank offers on energy at the gate under matching moisture caps—not baht per tonne alone.
