This is because they can experience thermal runaway - uncontrollable temperature increases - which is hard to stop with conventional firefighting means.

Despite its growing vulnerability to climate-linked natural disasters, Australia remains one of the world's biggest exporters of gas and thermal coal.

However, using the technology “brings challenges related to thermal management, integration complexity, and manufacturability,” the company wrote.

Coal has two main markets that support it Sheikh noted: Steel production and thermal applications for energy consumption.
