Interpretable machine learning reveals physicochemical drivers of bio-crude yield in hydrothermal liquefaction of water hyacinth

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) provides a promising route for converting wet biomass into energy-rich bio-crude without energy-intensive drying. Water hyacinth is well suited to HTL because of its high moisture content, rapid growth, and widespread occurrence as an invasive aquatic biomass. However, bio-crude formatio...
