The hydrothermal carbonization process enhances energy yield in cacao pod husk, suggesting an alternative fuel source.

Hydrochar produced from cacao pod husk demonstrates significant calorific content improvements after hydrothermal carbonization.
Higher heating value increased from 18.65 to 24.68 MJ/kg as temperature rises from 180 °C to 220 °C over a duration of 12 hours.
The hydrothermal carbonization method evaluates temperature and reaction time to determine effects on hydrochar properties.
Energy densification indicates a 10% to 45% increase in added energy per unit mass of biomass processed.

Peneyra et al. (2025) studied this question.
