Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction (CHTL) is a process that can convert wet algae biomass into biocrude oil and biochemicals, a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction Technology (CHTL) can overcome the challenges of conventional biofuel production, such as high energy consumption, low conversion efficiency, and poor biocrude quality. CHTL can also utilize various types of algae, such as microalgae, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria, which have high biomass productivity, low land and water requirements, and high environmental benefits.

Algae are aquatic organisms that can perform photosynthesis and produce biomass, which can be converted into biofuels, such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, or biocrude oil. Biofuels are renewable and sustainable sources of energy that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy security, and diversify the energy portfolio. However, biofuel production from algae also faces some challenges, such as high moisture content, low lipid content, complex cell wall structure, and diverse biomass composition, which can affect the conversion process and the biocrude quality.
