Biofuel Energy Safety

Image of biofuel

As demand for low-carbon impact, domestically sourced fuels has increased, biofuels have become a fast-growing part of the energy sector. Biofuels are produced from renewable resources, such as grains, plant biomass, vegetable oils, and treated municipal and industrial wastes. They are flammable or combustible, and their manufacture can involve potentially dangerous chemical reactions. Employers must protect workers from the hazards of these fuels and their production processes. They are flammable or combustible, and their manufacture can involve potentially dangerous chemical reactions. Employers must protect workers from the hazards of these fuels and their production processes.

Potential hazards in biofuels production and handling include:

  • Fire and Explosion Hazards of Biofuels
  • Chemical Reactivity Hazards in Biofuel Manufacturing
  • Toxicity Hazards in Biofuel Manufacturing

These hazards are in addition to normal workplace hazards, such as walking/working surface hazards, electrical hazards and other similar hazards. There have been biofuel-related accidents involving fatalities and injuries from burns, explosions, and chemical exposures.
