Hydrothermal carbonization of biowaste with energy recovery was evaluated as a treatment technology using attributional life cycle assessment carried out in line ISO 14044. Results show that important differences were observed for individual impact categories. outperformed all other incumbent technologies three categories and performed on par anaerobic digestion composting the climate change category, where scores across different wet streams ranged from -0.014 to -0.032 kg CO2 equivalents per treated. However, it worst those environmental impacts which address resource depletion, including mineral, fossil renewable depletion. This stresses need include when evaluating performance technologies. Differences ranking between midpoint corroborate earlier studies suggesting general waste hierarchy might not necessarily apply hydrothermal biowaste.
