Webinar – Sustainable Carbon Solutions by HTC Technology: Products and Market Potential

Online, Processes Webinar | November 19, 2025, 3:00 pm CET / 9 am EST

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is emerging as a key technology for the sustainable management of biomass and organic waste, offering a pathway to produce a carbon-rich solid (hydrochar) as well as a liquid product (process water) containing valuable compounds. As technological innovation progresses, so does the commercial viability and market interest in HTC-derived materials.

This webinar will explore the latest advancements in HTC technologies, the expanding range of product applications, and their market readiness. A special focus will be given to how current and upcoming environmental policies—such as the EU Green Deal, carbon reduction targets, and circular economy strategies—are shaping the innovation, investment, and large-scale adoption of HTC.

Join industry leaders, researchers, and policy experts to explore how technology, product development, and regulation converge to drive HTC’s role in the green transition.

Workshop – Assessment of Roadmap Progress – Towards a common experimental protocol for testing the carbon stability of hydrochar

ATB, Potsdam, Germany | July 17-18, 2025

The HTC-Network Workshop 2025 was held on 17–18 July 2025 at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) in Potsdam, Germany.
The meeting brought together over 50 researchers and industry representatives from all over the world to discuss recent progress on the HTC-Roadmap, share ongoing research on biomass valorization, and develop a common experimental approach for assessing hydrochar carbon stability within carbon removal frameworks.

The workshop combined scientific presentations, laboratory visits, and interactive discussions, providing a highly engaging and productive setting for knowledge exchange. A field trip to Carbonauten GmbH in Eberswalde offered participants an opportunity to explore large-scale pyrolysis operations and discuss the practical challenges and opportunities of industrial hydrochar deployment.

Overall, the event represented a valuable step forward in aligning research efforts, harmonizing testing protocols, and strengthening collaboration within the international HTC community toward sustainable carbon management and circular bioeconomy solutions.

4th International Symposium on Hydrothermal Carbonization

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA | January 21–24, 2025

The 4th International Symposium on Hydrothermal Carbonization was held in New Orleans from January 21 to 24, 2025, bringing together researchers, industry professionals, and scholars from around the world. The event featured in-depth discussions on recent advancements, challenges, and applications in hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), covering a wide range of topics from process optimization to environmental impacts.

A highlight of the symposium was the special session dedicated to the establishment of the International Hydrochar Network, marking an important step toward strengthening global collaboration in this field.
