Ingelia's basic HTC process can use food waste, for example, to produce biocoal similar to fossil browncoal, comprising about 60% carbon. This hydrochar can then go through extra steps to make higher-value 'designer' biocoal, removing ash and volatiles to ensure carbon content up to 90% – able to compete with top-grade hard coal.
