Self-heating remains one of the most significant risks in wood pellet storage, with the potential to escalate into serious fires if not detected and managed effectively. Join the Wood Pellet Association of Canada, Firefly, FutureMetrics and Ørsted for a webinar focused on understanding the causes of self-heating, identifying early warning signs and implementing practical strategies to reduce risk. Drawing on lessons from major incidents and operational experience across the industry, this session will explore how facilities can strengthen prevention measures, improve detection capabilities and enhance emergency response preparedness.

Participants will gain insights into the technical factors that contribute to runaway self-heating events, the role of storage design and operating practices and the challenges of responding to an incident once it has begun. 

This webinar is designed for plant operators, storage managers, safety professionals, engineers, and anyone responsible for reducing fire risk and improving operational reliability in wood pellet storage facilities.
