Microwave-assisted Hydrothermal Carbonization for Solid Biofuel Application: A Brief Review

Carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions have been a known threat globally. One of the significant contributors to this issue is coal usage in the power generation industry. Hydro-thermal carbonization (HTC) is considered one of the alternative methods for producing hydrochar to replace coal. Mor...
