Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization is highly applicable to high moisture biomass upgrading due to fact that moisture
involved can be directly used as reaction media under subcritical-water region. With this, value-added utilization
of hydrochar as solid fuel with high carbon and energy density is one of the important pathways for biomass
conversion. In this review, the dewatering properties of hydrochar after the hydrothermal carbonization of biowaste, coalification degree with elemental composition and evolution, pelletization of hydrochar to enhance the
mechanical properties and density, coupled with the combustion properties of hydrochar biofuel were discussed
with various biomass and carbonization parameters. Potential applications for… More >
