In Ghana,palm kernel shells ar eobtained from palm oil producers.Until recently, palm kernel shells were perceived as
waste material having problems with their disposal especially in palm oil producing areas.Currently, palm kernel shells are
used as a source of fuel for many companies in various industrial productions.The waste products have now been identified
as a useful energy source,however the waste generation from oil producers far outweighs its consumption by industries.
There are huge tonnages of these palm kernel shell wastes dumped on sites around many of the palm oil producing areas in
the country.There is the need for some form of attention on the disposal problems regarding the shells in palm oil producing
areas of Ghana.
