CARBIOW project’s activity at the 33rd European Biomass Conference & Exhibition (EUBCE), held in Valencia (Spain) from 9 to 12 June, has been very intense.
On Monday, June 9, our colleague Michelle Gian from Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) joined the Conference to present a poster on the CARBIOW project.
Within the session entitled “Perspectives of Sustainability: Enhancing Socioeconomic and Policies”, Michelle discussed the materiality assessment of the value chain from kitchen waste to biofuels.
On Thursday, June 12, our colleague Andrii Kostyniuk from Kemijski inštitut – National Institute of Chemistry participated in the session “New Trends in Hydrothermal Gasification and Carbonisation” with a second poster. His presentation, entitled “Conversion of Biomass Waste via Wet Torrefaction to High-Value 5-HMF and Hydrochar Fuel in a Nitrogen Atmosphere,” focused on wet torrefaction (WT) as one of the most eminent pretreatment methods for hydrochar production.
In their study, our colleagues examine how varying reaction conditions impact the WT process, focusing on changes in the surface morphology and elemental composition of the produced hydrochar.
