Task 36: Material and Energy valorisation of waste in a Circular Economy
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC):Valorisation of organic waste and sewage sludges for hydrochar production and biofertilizers The HTC process offers a unique way to recover materials from organic wastes and sludges which are otherwise difficult and expensive to be valorised. This novel technology has been developed at industrial scale during the last 10 years and represents a […]
