Executive Abstract
Evaluating HTL technology readiness level (TRL 7) for converting municipal sludge and agricultural slurries into drop-in liquid transportation fuels.
💡 Key Takeaways & Recommendations
Hydrothermal liquefaction circumvents energy-intensive drying of wet waste streams. Continuous pilot operations demonstrate biocrude yields up to 42% on a dry ash-free basis.
