Food wastes, municipal solid waste, as well as Industrial, Commercial & Institutional wastes and agricultural wastes pose a risk to human health and the environment such that they merit special management. Currently, the cheapest and commonly used management technologies for these wastes are landfilling or combustion. However, landfill releases methane and other greenhouse gases. Moreover, it has potential to pollute surrounding soil and groundwater. Hydrothermal liquefaction technology could convert carbonaceous waste streams into biocrude oil that is environmentally green but pose several challenges including high production cost and effluent product identification. There is compelling need to develop an economically viable production process of biocrude oil and analyze the component in the product in order to add value to underutilized waste. The objectives of the proposed study are to: (1) produce fuel and chemical products from food wastes, municipal solid wastes and Industrial, Commercial & Institutional wastes by using hydrothermal liquefaction; (2) develop an eco-friendly separation process in order to separate oil from the solids; (3) optimize the process parameters for catalytic upgrading of the biocrude oil for commercial applications; (4) perform material and product characterization studies; and (5) perform techno-economic analysis for accessing process safety and environmental issues. NULIFE GreenTech in Saskatoon, Canada is the industry partner for this proposed research. The technology developed from this study will be implemented at NULIFE GreenTech's production facility for manufacturing biocrude oil and biochar. The intended hydrothermal liquefaction facility with automated reaction system will allow Prof. Ajay K. Dalai at the University of Saskatchewan and his collaborators including NULIFE GreenTech to conduct hydrothermal liquefaction of diverse Canadian biogenic wastes that is indispensably needed in-house for the experimental and theoretical aspects of waste conversion to biofuels and fine chemicals.

食品废物，市政固体废物以及工业，商业和机构废物和农业废物对人类健康和环境构成了风险，因此它们值得特别管理。目前，这些废物最便宜，常用的管理技术是垃圾填埋或燃烧。但是，垃圾填埋场释放甲烷和其他温室气体。此外，它具有污染周围土壤和地下水的潜力。水热液化技术可以将碳质废物流转换为环境绿色的生物奶油油，但面临着几个挑战，包括高生产成本和废水产品识别。有令人信服的需要开发经济上可行的生物奶油石油生产过程，并分析产品中的成分，以增加未充分利用的废物的价值。拟议的研究的目标是：（1）通过使用热液液化，从食物废物，市政固体废物以及工业，商业和机构废物中生产燃料和化学产品； （2）开发一个环保的分离过程，以将油与固体分开； （3）优化用于商业应用的生物蛋白油的催化升级的过程参数； （4）进行材料和产品表征研究； （5）对访问过程安全和环境问题进行技术经济分析。加拿大萨斯卡通的Nulife Greentech是这项拟议研究的行业合作伙伴。这项研究开发的技术将在Greentech制造生物芯和生物炭的努利夫Greentech生产设施中实施。具有自动反应系统的预期水热液化设施将允许萨斯喀彻温大学的Ajay K. Dalai教授及其合作者（包括Nulife Greentech）在室内进行实验性和理论化的浪费，从而无需进行内部的室内室内需要，从而对加拿大多元化的生物基因作用进行水热液化。
