The storage of a reactive chemical waste in large storage tanks can lead to a thermal explosion, as was the case recently in July 2021 at Currenta in Leverkusen-Bürrig (Germany) (Currenta 2022). In addition to considerable property damage, 7 people were killed and 31 injured. Therefore, the thermal risk for the storage of reactive waste must be assessed in advance and appropriate risk-minimizing measures must be taken.
The storage of a reactive chemical waste in large storage tanks can lead to a thermalexplosion, as was the case recently in July 2021 at Currenta in Leverkusen-Bürrig (Germany).Therefore, a process safety risk assessment prior to mixing of different organic waste in large storage tanks is mandatory. The thermal stability of single chemical waste streams can be assessedby the chemical structure. If the formula of the chemical substances contains unstablefunctional groups (explosophores or self-reactive functional groups) a more detailed investigationis required. In case of mixing different waste streams, an easy desktop method for a quick hazardassessment is the chemical reactivity matrix. Thermal safety testing methods in the safety lab areReaction Calorimetry (RC1), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Activity Monitor(TAM) and Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC) or Vent Sizing Package 2 (VSP2). Industrial heat confinement situations can be assessed by a systematic decision tree.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
