Best in class – Life Cycle Analysis of HTC as sludge treatment
In a comprehensive life cycle analysis, the treatment of sewage sludge through hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has achieved the best results compared to other technologies. In an increasing number of countries, the incineration of sewage sludge is being considered a...
Successful continuous HTC operation on wastewater treatment plant ends years of controversy
After 1.5 years of continuous operation in Pau-Lescar, France, results are now available that confirm the controversially discussed benefits of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of sewage sludge. In the project implemented by the French Suez group, in a first step...
New EU-Regulation paves the way for cost-effective Carbon-Dioxide Removal Certificates by “Wet Pyrolysis”
In December 2024, guidelines for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) from the atmosphere were published by the European Union, which regulates an EU-wide trade of negative certificates. This will allow Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) projects to make a highly-efficient and...
European Union and Germany pave the way for CO2 removal from the atmosphere through Hydrothermal Carbonization
The future legal framework for CO2-capture and -storage will allow open competition for the most effective solutions. Hydrothermal carbonization of organic residues is already a proven, safe and energy-saving way of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. In addition to the...
