Hydro Thermal Carbonisation technology developed at IIT, Kharagpur is a process of generation of energy from which of the following sources?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - Solid waste with high moisture content
The Hydro Thermal Carbonisation (HTC) technology developed at IIT Kharagpur is a process used for generating energy from solid waste with high moisture content.
Hydro Thermal Carbonisation (HTC) is a thermochemical conversion process that involves treating wet biomass or organic waste materials at high temperatures and pressures to produce solid biochar, liquid bio-oil, and gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. This technology is particularly useful for processing organic waste materials with high moisture content, such as agricultural residues, food waste, sewage sludge, and biomass from forestry and landscaping activities. By converting such waste materials into valuable energy products, HTC contributes to waste management, renewable energy production, and environmental sustainability efforts.
