Study Highlights

• Landfilling and HTC with electricity generation (HTC-EG) compared for 1^st time
• HTC-EG can reduce 7.7 × 10⁶ kg CO₂ eq emission by avoiding landfilling
• HTC-EG can reduce the freshwater eco-toxicity by 46.77% compared to landfilling
• HTC-EG can increase particulate matter formation and marine water eutrophication
