“…Generally, this process leads to an increase in fixed carbon, ashes, and carbon content, with a decrease in volatile matter and oxygen content also occurring [11][12][13]. The vast majority of studies conducted on hydrochar generation found in existing literature are focused on aspects of bioenergy and chemistry [14,15], with very little information existing on the use of hydrochar in the agronomic field [16,17]. The use of spent coffee grounds (SCG) as an organic soil amendment has recently been studied due to their interesting macronutrient composition, of mainly lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, as well as their diverse array of mineral and bioactive compounds [18].…”
