Abstract
This chapter introduces the hydrothermal carbonization of biomass for hydrochar production and its applications. It starts from production of hydrochar with the influence parameters of feedstock, reaction temperature, reaction time, and catalyst. Hydrochar properties, such as heating value, chemical properties, microcrystalline structure, and surface morphology, have been discussed. Following that, the environmental impact of hydrochar on soil physical characteristics, chemical characteristics, biological characteristics, and the plant growth were reviewed. Modification of hydrochar and its further application for climate change mitigation, pollution control, and remediation, and energy storage were also discussed.
