Wooden pellets, by design, are extremely firearms. From the heating system of the house to the grilling, everything is used in compressed voddy baby. But his firearms have developed a MAD for dangerous work conditions: Since 2010, according to a database of the events set by the South Environment Law Center, since 2010, at least 52 fires have been spreading on the facilities that make wooden pellets across the United States.
According to a non -profit environmental integrity project, established by the former director of the US Environment Protection Agency, at least eight of the 15 largest wooden facilities have been set on fire or explosion since 2014.
At the same time, the world’s largest Bidamas company, Drakes, is cutting trees in North America, promising to sell them as an alternative to foam fuel. But even its track record is checked with accidents.
In the South Shields, in the UK, the wooden knives were prepared for the Drake Plant when it was in a storage at the port of Tine, with 40 firefighters taking 12 hours to extinguish the fire. In Port Allen, Louisiana, in November 2021, a wooden pills facility exploded in flames.
Now, despite the legal action of the accidental fire losses, despite finding itself, Dracus is pressing with a new business proposal. It not only involves cutting trees to make wood pellets, but also, the company says to help prevent forest fire.
In October 2023, two pallets after buying two parcels in California, one in Tolomi County and the other in Lyson County, Draccus partner organization, Golden State Natural Resources, or GSNR, “A Non -Public Benefits to Meet the Corporation of the Corporation. ۔
After that, the GSNR has called for close work with members of the community. However, according to Megan Fuske, who instructs rural workers at a local community college, residents living near the proposed pellet mill sites were not always familiar with these plans. “People who (proposed) were a hundred feet away from the pallet plant, did not know anything about it.”
The proposed two mills are in the forest areas, with forest fires. When asked about the dangers that the manufacture of wooden knives, GSNR executive director, Patrick Black Lock, told Grust, “We tried to learn a lesson from these events. The design features can make a long journey to reduce the risk of fire.”
If the county representatives approve the project, Lagers will be allowed to take “dead or dead trees” and “Woody Biomas” from 100 miles of pallet mills within two counties, which are affiliated with the Stanolas National Force and Yosmite National Park.
Fuske said he had seen irrelevant incidents of Drakes, where Lagers was not properly trained and was allowed to take more wood more under the forest fire flexible scheme. “What is said about the ligars and what happens on the earth is the difference,” Faske said. You have “inexperienced or young people who have been paid low salaries, maybe English is not their first language, so there are many obstacles.”
