In the absence of prior drying, dewatered sewage sludge (DSS) was directly converted to hydrochars with superior fuel characteristics in subcritical water. Hydrochar derived at 320 °C and 12.0 MPa (SHC-320) was screened for systematic cocombustion with different-rank coals. The results suggest that...
