Recent research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in collaboration with DuPont, Iowa State University, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL), sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, has focused on understanding the dynamics of fires in biomass stacks and the development of safer storage designs. We conducted experiments in a large calorimeter at UL to observe how a fire grows and spreads through a stack of corn stover bales.
