Straw has its own issues, if it gets wet, it can spontaneously combust. The heat from decomposition is enough, and it’s self oxidizing too iirc. It being sealed is what makes it easier, the heat can’t escape. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 point 56 minutes ago* (last edited 33 minutes ago) Treatment: thanks for the Info Comvusrion: that's news to me. I guess it needs to be very specific conditions for that to happen. If I know anything about German rules and regulations is that they are overly thourugh here and would have tested this to death. And there is a very strong insulation lobby by chemical companies here, so there is an incentive to stop these new (old?) techniques. Edit: though about the combustion and the only thing that makes sense to me is a large mass where heat is trapped and has a runaway reaction like a compost. permalink fedilink source parent
