These are the second and the third of a case study compilation to explore lessons on material and energy valorisation of waste within the framework of IEA Bioenergy Task 36. The set of case studies will be published during 2021 and beginning of 2022 covering social and public acceptance aspects, barriers in Waste-to-Energy (WtE) implementation, success stories for decentralized solutions, and integration of WtE within material and\/or nutrient recovery. The purpose of these case studies is to showcase examples from which countries can get inspiration and support in implementing suitable policies and solutions in the waste\/resource management and WtE sector that would facilitate their transition towards circularity. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC): Valorisation of organic waste and sludges for hydrochar production and biofertilizers.<\/em><\/p>\n This case study describes a technology developed by Ingelia, a SME based in Valencia (Spain) owned by multinational shareholders from Spain, Austria, England, and Italy, applied to organic waste and sludges for the production of hydrochars and biofertilizers. I also included a life cycle assessment\u00a0 to determine the potential environmental impacts (global warming, freshwater eutrophication, and terrestrial acidification) of a large-scale HTC plant processing wet biomass and sludge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more:<\/p>\n
