It is the pulp residue obtained from pressing olives during olive oil production. It contains water, pulp, and a small amount of oil.

Energy source: It is used as fuel by being turned into pellets. Its combustion temperature is high (e.g., ~5000kcal/kg) and its ash and sulfur content are low. 2kg of dried olive pomace is equivalent to ≈1kg of fuel oil.

Animal feed: Due to its pulp content, it is considered a roughage additive.

Fertilizer & soil conditioner: Pellet ash is rich in potassium oxide and can be used in agriculture as compost or fertilizer.
It can improve soil structure by providing a carbon source in the soil, but when used directly, it can cause nitrogen fixation. Therefore, composting is recommended.

Soap making: In the past, pulp oil was used as a raw material for soap production.
