Question : Hydro Thermal Carbonisation technology(HTC) developed at IIT Kharagpur is a process of generation of energy from which of the following sources?
Option 1: Water current in rivers
Option 2: Hydropower in barrages and dams
Option 3: Solid waste with high moisture content
Option 4: Naturally available Hydrocarbons
Correct Answer: Solid waste with high moisture content
Solution : The correct option is solid waste with high moisture content.
The Hydro-Thermal Carbonisation (HTC) technology developed at IIT Kharagpur isn't directly for generating energy but rather for transforming organic waste, solid waste with high moisture content, into valuable resources. Organic waste undergoes hydrothermal carbonisation at IIT Kharagpur, producing Hydrochar, bio-oil, and syngas. These resources serve as biofuels, soil amendments, and sources of energy or chemicals, promoting sustainable energy production from waste.
