Abstract
Solid carbonaceous fuel is dried to a desired moisture content, cooled, and stored in an atmosphere having a controlled humidity and oxygen content to prevent heat generation which causes spontaneous combustion. A suitable atmosphere is produced by displacing air in a storage enclosure with dehumidified combustion gases.
