In this paper, the working principles of different technologies are described. The main goal is to detail the instruments in the literature that can achieve a hydrothermal liquefaction operation to obtain biofuels from different biomass sources. This objective can be reached using solar energy as the main source, however different technological systems need to be coupled to drive these processes with only solar energy consumption. This feasibility study seeks to provide information on suitable solar technology, tracking systems, and reactor developments to drive hydrothermal operations in a suitable prototype design. Future work aims to operate modular hydrothermal batch systems to determine the feasibility and robustness of the operation with the main goal of describing prototype design performance and scalability in operation to produce industrial volumes of biofuel fabrication reducing environmental impact through this technological implementation.
