Creating fertilizers from organic waste can help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and promote sustainable production. One way of doing this is through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), which converts biomass into biocrude oil through a high-temperature, high-pressure process.

Two studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign explore the use of a fungal treatment to convert the leftover wastewater into fertilizer for agricultural crops.

The first study, "Hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase mycoremediation to increase inorganic nitrogen availability,"

The second study, "Wastewater Nutrient Recovery via Fungal and Nitrifying Bacteria Treatment,"
