“…Hydrochar has environmental applications as a soil amendment (Bargmann et al, 2014;Khosravi et al, 2022) and as a nutrient source (Becker et al, 2019;Fei et al, 2019). The physical and energetic properties of hydrochar make it suitable for use as a solid fuel (Marin-Batista et al, 2020;Ipiales et al, 2022), enhancer of anaerobic digestion (Kumar et al, 2021), CO 2 capture agent (Goel et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021a), energy storage material in fuel cells, supercapacitors, and batteries (Arenas Esteban et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2021;Arauzo et al, 2022), and as a precursor for adsorbents (Diaz et al, 2019;Román et al, 2020) and activated carbons (Belete et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2020). The use of hydrochar as a solid biofuel is acquiring focus because 50-85 % of its energy is contained in the feedstock (Román et al, 2012;Ipiales et al, 2021).…”
