AB  - Despite many advantages of the utilization of biomass as a renewable energy source, certain bottlenecks during biomass plant operation can be identified. Transport and collection of biomass as well as non-uniform material characteristics are issues related to decreasing efficiency of logistics and fuel manipulation which can also cause economic problems with biomass collection, transport, and storage. Since biomass is an especially reactive fuel, this has raised concerns over its safe handling and utilization. Fires, and sometimes explosions, are a risk during all stages of fuel production as well as during handling and utilization of the product. This paper presents a novel method for assessing ignition risk and provides a ranking of relative risk of ignition of biomass fuels. Tests within this method include physical and chemical properties of biomass, thermal analysis measurements, and the calculation procedure steps which were made using characteristic temperatures from thermogravimetry recordings. The results of thermogravimetry analysis were used for determination of tangent slope of the mass loss rate curves in devolatilization zone at considered heating rates for all tested samples. Linear interpolation of the data obtained by tangent slope analysis and used heating rates may provide unique straight line for each sample in the ignition testing. Thermogravimetry index of spontaneous ignition (TGspi) is obtained for all samples based on newly established formula. By varying gradient of linear dependence of self-heating coefficient against reference temperatures, mass and heat transfer limitations for various biomasses were discussed. The proposed method is accurate as well as relatively simple and quick, enabling determination of data necessary for design and application of appropriate measures to reduce fire and explosion hazard related to operation of biomass.
