Safely Managed Barbeque Use of Charcoal as Traditional Renewable Energy

Abstract

While coal is a fossil fuel, traditional charcoal is an inherently renewable energy source. In addition to fuel, charcoal can also be used as a functional material such as adsorbents and catalysts. Charcoal is still used for heating in safe cooking situations, such as barbecues. However, in recent years in Japan, there have been many cases of barbecue fire accidents. This study is a case study in which the author experimented with charcoal (Made from Malaysian mangroves) barbecue using a safe method within an established facility. The author will examine the dangers of charcoal barbeques and the possibility of preventing accidents by comparing them with recent examples of fire accidents (flame transfer, flying flames, incomplete extinguishing, etc.) and their causes.
