Safety and quality assurance measures along the pellets supply chain (SAFEPELLETS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Isolated incidents due to increased, toxic emissions in pellet storages have aroused great relevance and urgency on operational and customer safety in wood pellet supply chains. Reportedly two cases of death have occurred in large size vessels for ocean transportation and in harbour facilities. Another three incidents were reported in end-users´ storage rooms, the last of which resulted in the dea...
