Biochar produced from pyrolysis of biomass plays a vital role in mitigating global CO2 emissions by replacing fossil carbons in industry and acting as a carbon sink when it is applied as soil improvement in agriculture. In the versatile applications of biochar, fire safety issues rise due to the self-heating, self-ignition, and dust explosion risks of biochar. This PhD project is aimed at advancing fundamental understandings as well as proposing and evaluating strategies to improve fire safety in handling and storage of biochar.
