The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hydrothermal carbonization of various lignocellulosic biomass (2014, background): “The hydrochar is quite friable and is readily made into durable pellets to facilitate handling [21].”
A review on hydrothermal carbonization of biomass and plastic wastes to energy products (2020, background): “Pellet durability can improve when the HTC temperature increased [96].”
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of selected woody and herbaceous biomass feedstocks (2012, background): “Finally, it has recently been reported that HTC hydrochar is more amenable to pelletization than is char from torrefaction [27].”
Strength, storage, and combustion characteristics of densified lignocellulosic biomass produced via torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization (2014, background): “Similar results were obtained in a previous study performed on densification of HTC pretreated loblolly pine wood [20], except for the case of durability.”
Hydrothermal carbonization of loblolly pine: reaction chemistry and water balance (2014, background): “The physical process is well known as dewatering, where the bound water is ejected from the biomass during HTC due to the increased hydrophobicity of HTC biochar [34, 35].”
Compaction of palm kernel shell biochars for application as solid fuel (2014, unknown): “rarely studied, the pelletisation of charcoals from other biomass such as loblolly pine [34], switchgrass [35], sawdust [36] and even beehives [37] has been extensively documented.”
