PNNL’s hydrothermal liquefaction shows promise for turning toxic algal blooms into biocrude

Green Car Congress

One year into the ERDC project, the team demonstrated a three-step approach that “cleans” the water, removes the algae and entrained nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, and transforms the algae into a potential energy source. In 2019, the ERDC conducted a baseline pilot study of the three stages of HABITATS.
