Members of our team had the pleasure to participate in an event dedicated to the outcomes of the "HyCon – Catalytic Direct Hydrothermal Conversion of Biomass and Lignites to Liquid Fuels and Value-added Chemicals" project, which took place on June 18, 2024, at GIG National Research Institute in Katowice.

The meeting focused on various aspects of Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) of selected types of biomass and lignites, covering feedstock selection and characterization, optimization of batch and continuous processes, as well as analysis of the potential products of hydrothermal liquefaction. Economic and environmental assessments of the proposed process were also discussed.
