short description
HTC is a processing technology providing a highly efficient conversion of biomass into coal. As input material is used low grade biomass like green cut  from the own TU / UdK Campus and the Tiergarten, organic waste of Campus restaurants, Campus sewage sludge, animals manure from “neighbor” Zoological Garden (no competition with food production!). A reactor with the size easily to be installed in the cellar or a conventional carport of a single family house, is carbonizing biomass in a worldwide unique 90 minute timeframe.
