Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new. However, the way we use batteries is rapidly evolving, which brings these risks into sharp focus.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
Sustainable supply of battery minerals and metals for electric vehicles. Clean energy integration into the whole value chain of electric vehicle batteries. Environmental, social, and governance risks encumber the mining industry. The hindrances to creating closed-loop systems for batteries.
At the same time, fire and explosion risks associated with this type of high-energy battery technology have become a major safety concern. Many advances have been made in understanding reactive chemistry and fire-safety issues related to both thermal runaway and fire hazards presented by LIBs.
For batteries, a number of pollutive agents has been already identified on consolidated manufacturing trends, including lead, cadmium, lithium, and other heavy metals. Moreover, the emerging materials used in battery assembly may pose new concerns on environmental safety as the reports on their toxic effects remain ambiguous.
Legal regime The UK already has legislation in place dealing with fire and safety risks such as those posed by batteries. For example, the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (‘the 1974 Act’) requires employers to ensure the safety of their workers and others in so far as is reasonably practicable.
