Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the more important renewable sources and it will play a strategic role in many future markets, taking into consideration that a renewable energy share of 32% is binding at the European level by 2030. Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass can be carried out via hydrothermal processes and, among them, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) represents a versatile process, which promotes the progressively deoxygenation of the biomass, under relatively mild reaction conditions. The obtained solid-rich product, called hydrochar, can be used in a wide range of applications, such as adsorption, energy storage, CO2 sequestration, catalysis etc. In this last field, within the project PRIN 2020 LEVANTE “LEvulinic acid V...
