At WATTS UP 2023 in Rotterdam last March we had the pleasure to be informed by Preben Vie, senior scientist at the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), about the effects of aging on the thermal stability and safety of battery cells. We are now pleased to have him present to us an update on their groundbreaking research on the safety of aged VS new battery cells at this upcoming webinar.

Some of the conclusions from his presentation at WATTS UP were:

• Safety of aged Li-ion cells depend strongly on ageing temperature and hence ageing mechanism

• Even “safe” chemistries as LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) can become critical “unsafe” when aged

• Information in slow charge and discharge curves can be used for diagnostic analyses through differentiation

• dQ/dV tracking can possibly be used for early detection of safety hazardous cycling/ageing conditions

Join us to learn about the latest insights on this important topic!

The next session is now open for registrations with a focus on operation, testing and safety of Li-ion batteries within maritime applications.

This 6-week bundle consists of 3 comprehensive modules. The coaching program will take place from 6 November 2023 to 15 December 2023.Within this time frame, live coaching sessions will take place every second Monday and Friday from 10 AM - 11 AM (Berlin time) via Microsoft Teams.

Course Background

Li-ion battery development projects are always approached from different sides e.g., chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, computer science. These different ways of approach make a battery development project a multi-disciplinary project, which brings the necessity for a common understanding to guarantee an effective work together. There is a need for a common knowledge of the Li-ion battery as core component as well as its challenges within battery system development and engineering.

The participant will learn how a Li-ion battery works, what are the important parts, know the important vocabulary, understand the potential of a Li-ion battery at equilibrium and under load, understand heat production of a Li-ion battery under load, understand cyclic and calendric aging of Li-ion batteries and the determining factors, understand challenges of fast charging, name basic BMS functionalities and measurement basics.

The participant will learn how typical battery tests (electrical tests, aging tests, and safety tests) are carried out and name typical challenges with the tests as well as typical tricks of battery cell

manufacturers. The participant will learn about safety fundamentals, like materials affecting safety and the nature of battery risks. Safety considerations along the value chain for automotive and maritime applications and safety during transport and storage are discussed. Some real safety incidents and lessons learned are addressed as well.

This webinar is for Maritime Battery Forum Members exclusively.

Pacific Environment has invited the members of the Maritime Battery Forum for a discussion on the Clean Shipping Act of 2023 and the International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2023.

The Clean Shipping Act of 2023 by Rep. Robert Garcia (CA-Long Beach) and co-lead Rep. Nanette Barragán (CA-Los Angeles), with a companion bill introduced in the Senate by Sen. Alex Padilla (CA) – would direct the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from marine vessels of 400 gross tonnage and above that call on ports in the U.S., reaching 100% GHG emission reductions by 2040. It also directs EPA to require zero in-port emissions from marine vessels by 2030 (which would essentially require ships to plug into shorepower).

The International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2023 – introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) and co-sponsored by Senator Padilla and Welch – would direct the U.S. EPA to levy a pollution fee on large marine vessels (10,000 gross tonnage and above) offloading cargo at U.S. ports: a $150 per ton maritime CO2e fee, as well as fees for the NOx, SO2, and PM2.5 that ships emit. The revenue generated would be directed towards programs that would provide critical funding for modernizing the domestic Jones Act fleet, revitalizing U.S. shipbuilding, decarbonizing the maritime economy, supporting workforce development, and provide funding for battery technology!

Press releases:

• Press release from Rep. Garcia on Clean Shipping Act of 2023

• Press release from Sen. Padilla on Clean Shipping Act of 2023

• Press release from Sen. Whitehouse on International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2023

Interested Maritime Battery Forum members can send an email to director@maritimebatteryforum.com for the meeting link.

Key takeaways from the Clean Shipping Act of 2023:

• The progressively tighter GHG intensity standards for the fuels used by ships are consistent with a decarbonization pathway that is compatible with the Paris Agreement’s objective of keeping warming below 1.5°C.

• The requirements to eliminate in-port ship emissions by 2030 will save lives and provide significant air quality and health benefits to families living in port-adjacent communities.

• The Act will help spur the development of the zero-emission vessel market and accelerate zero-emission research and demonstration across the maritime supply chain.

Key takeaways from the International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2023:

The pollution fees would raise an estimated $250 billion over 10 years for maritime decarbonization efforts and would reduce climate and air pollutant emissions by about 22% over the same time period. For consumers, the impact on prices would be minimal.

Uses of Revenue:

• 25% for replacing (or retrofitting) Jones Act vessels with battery and zero to low-carbon vessels.

• 25% for DOE grants to support R&D of battery and zero to low-carbon maritime fuels.

• 10% for the Clean Ports Program and 5% for related workforce development.

• 10% for ferry electrification and 10% for harbor craft electrification.

• 7% for port infrastructure (PIDP) and 3% for port community air monitoring.

• 3% for the National Oceans and Coastal Security Fund.

• 2% for the Marine Debris Foundation.
