Hydrothermal Carbonisation Technologyfor wet biomass wastes valorisation in Europe |
 |
Workshop in the framework of the 23rd European Biomass Conference and Exhibition,
Thursday 4 June 2015, 09:15 – 13:00,
Room Schubert 4, Messe Wien Congress Center, Vienna, Austria
Objective of the event is to present HTC as advanced technology for organic waste treatment, showing the results of testing activities provided on a 3 dry tons/day commercial plant, and the studies on biochar as green sustainable feedstock for several industry applications.
Hydrothermal Carbonisation Technology is getting more and more interesting due to the several benefits it presents in terms of wet residues processing capability, avoiding too expensive pre-treatment with a limited energy consumption. Thanks to the plant processing 3 dry t/day residues in continuous owned by Ingelia, in Spain, NEWAPP project demonstrates that HTC is already a commercial technology. The low emission, the wide range of potential industrial application and to the scalability of the process, attracted the interest of many industries and new commercial initiatives started. At the same time, the growing market potentials of HTC is bringing EU industries to maturate a large interest in biochar and its future market perspectives.
The char, end products of HTC plants, presents several potential application in industry sector, from metallurgy to biofertilizers energy and chemical sector. This event addresses stakeholders from a wide range of sectors, from research to industry representatives and municipalities. The objective of the workshop is to present HTC as advanced technology for organic waste treatment, project partners will present the results of testing activities provided by NEWAPP project consortium and the studies on biochar as green sustainable feedstock for several industry applications.
