Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) composting is a technology that converts the hydrocarbons, the main components of organic waste, to compost through hydrolysis, condensation, decarboxylation, and dehydration under subcritical water conditions, using high temperature and high pressure. Eventually it can replace the thousands years old composting technology.
