Virtual Conference
Virtual Conference
The global battery demand is expected to grow by 25% annually to reach 2,600 GWh in 2030. With growing use cases everyday, Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) production is ramping up to meet the global demand.
Without proper fire protection measures within the LIB cell production facility, thermal runaway, an exothermic reaction due to abuse during production process, can lead to an electrochemical chain reaction that results in fire, explosion and toxic gases with a rapid propagation to other LIB cells and/or production parts.
Together with Siemens and Munich RE, our virtual conference addresses risk engineering during the manufacturing process of LIB in general and focuses on the risk-based fire protection strategy within LIB cell production based on the importance of regulations and hazard evaluation.
