Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) research have led to pilot and industrial plants, though the process remains energy-intensive.
- An innovative solution involves coupling an HTC reactor with a solar concentrator to create a zero-energy system, featuring a specially coated reactor for optimal light absorption.
- Experimental results using agro-biomass showed that this solar-HTC system can achieve high energy efficiency, suggesting a promising future for sustainable energy technology.
