NEWAPP is a research project founded by the European Commission under FP7 program, aiming to develop a new valorization pathway for wet biomass waste streams, such as the organic fraction of municipal waste, sewage sludge or other industrial biodegradable waste like waste from food industry, vegetable or agricultural waste, sludge from waste or wastewater treatment through HTC technology.
The HTC process converts wet biomass waste streams into carbon. Instead of releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the carbon biomass is completely transformed into a peat-like material. This carbon can be employed for instance for energy generation, or as a secondary raw material. Desired raw materials for the HTC process are, for instance, vegetable material, wood, green pruning, compostable waste, paper, pulp, or similar lignocellulose or cellulose substrates with a water content in the range of 30 to 90%. Other contents should be limited to up to 20%. We have identified green waste like garden prunings and forest residuals as a potentially interesting stream.
We seek your cooperation to characterize this waste stream at European level.
