TÜV SÜD held the CIBICS Battery Safety and Sustainability Regulatory Forum in Chongqing
Under the transformation of the global energy structure, battery safety and sustainable development have attracted much attention. Governments and companies should take measures to ensure battery safety, focusing on emission reduction, efficiency improvement, cost reduction and resource recycling. Liu Yanlong, director of the China Physical and Chemical Power Association, first introduced the development status of China's lithium-ion battery industry, emphasizing that Chinese lithium battery companies need to actively respond to the new EU battery regulations to ensure the competitive advantage of China's lithium battery products. In terms of sustainability, industry experts from TÜV SÜD provided an in-depth analysis and explanation of the latest EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Christian Theeck, Chief Expert on EU Battery Regulations at TÜV SÜD, Silvia, Vice President Strategic Management & Key Account Sales, TÜV SÜD Imran, Mr. Zhang Shubo, Senior Manager of TÜV SÜD Greater China, Mr. Zhan Daqi, Senior Manager of Excellence Technology Center, and Zhu Wenjun, Manager of Sustainability Department, respectively interpreted the legislative process and current situation of the new EU battery regulation, the overall framework of the regulation, the specific product requirements of the regulation, the conformity assessment process, supply chain due diligence and solutions.
In addition, Xiao Lin, CEO/ Chairman and General Manager of Bocui Cycle, shared the purpose of the battery passport to ensure the traceability and life cycle management of batteries, regulatory compliance, safety standards and environmental benefits. Carbon is an important part of battery regulations, and Robert Pell, CEO of Shanghai Mingwei Consulting Co., Ltd., introduced the "Case Study of the Application of EU and GBA Carbon Footprint Methods in the Battery Value Chain". He said that in order to achieve deep decarbonization of battery manufacturing, we need to implement a decarbonization strategy for the battery raw material supply chain and facilitate the production of low-carbon batteries through recycling. Chen Weichao, Chief Representative of the International Nickel Association in China, systematically elaborated on the sustainability of nickel in the battery value chain and proposed ways to assess and improve sustainability.
Dr. Qiu Lin, Chief Scientist of Envision Zero-Carbon Products, also shared the new requirements of the EU carbon barriers on the carbon footprint of export products, the requirements of the new EU Battery Law on the carbon footprint and recycling efficiency of batteries, the response measures of enterprises, and the necessity of establishing a product carbon footprint database in China. Zhao Zhiwei, an expert in the battery field of China Automotive Engineering Research Institute, introduced the current situation and development trend of China's retired power battery recycling, focusing on the key technologies of cascade utilization and recycling, as well as the current status of standards and specifications. Yu Ying, director of the parts department of China Quality Certification Center, introduced in detail China's power battery cascade utilization certification system around the requirements of China and ASEAN countries in the access system of new energy vehicle power batteries.
In terms of safety, Huang Hao, deputy director of the Shanghai Fire Research Institute of the Ministry of Emergency Management, comprehensively analyzed the fire risk of electrochemical energy storage power stations in his speech "Fire Safety Challenges and Responses of Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Stations" and proposed targeted fire safety improvement measures. Professor, Dongshin University, South Korea, CEO of BET (Battery Energy Technology) Yu Tack Kim shared the safety issues and code requirements of the Global Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and suggested that safety standards suitable for the national situation should be developed to avoid future fire accidents. Zhu Jing, chief safety expert of Xiamen Xinnengan Technology Co., Ltd., introduced the active and passive design of battery safety of energy storage system to build the ultimate safety of energy storage system, and provided important guidance on the safety design of battery energy storage system to help improve the safety of battery system. Marco Frank, Battery Technology Manager at TÜV SÜD, delivered a keynote speech on the issue of thermal runaway and thermal propagation of batteries, sharing TÜV SÜD's thermal runaway assessment methods for batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, as well as evaluation solutions at the battery module and battery pack levels.
At present, domestic battery companies are actively expanding overseas markets, showing a strong trend of globalization in terms of business expansion and production layout. In this regard, Jia Honghui, Key Account Manager of TÜV SÜD Central Europe, shared the key factors of the new production base in Europe and the successful cases of project cooperation. Masachika Kodama, Director of Business Promotion at JET, shared an overview of the energy storage system (ESS) market in Japan, JET's ESS certification services, and JET's support and testing services for the Japanese market. Bumjong KIM, Director of KTL New Power Industry Technology Center, introduced the R&D strategy and regulatory policies for the new generation of secondary batteries formulated by the Korean government, and outlined the important measures of the Korean government in battery technology R&D, industry cultivation, and market supervision. Sanjaya Sim Hadi, Business Development Manager of E-Mobility Southeast Asia, TÜV SÜD, shared the current status of new energy vehicles in ASEAN countries, investment prospects and TÜV SÜD's local support services. In his keynote speech, Sebastian Ceme, TÜV SÜD's Global Battery Technology Expert, detailed the U.S. regulatory requirements, certification system, export and investment policies. Zhu Haifeng, Senior Technical Manager of TÜV SÜD's Commercial Products Department, shared the compliance requirements of new energy battery manufacturers to build factories overseas, helping manufacturers understand and meet relevant regulations to ensure the compliance and competitiveness of products in markets such as Europe and North America, and help energy storage manufacturers deploy overseas.
Through professional and in-depth analysis and discussion, the forum helped Chinese battery companies comprehensively analyze the international situation, new battery regulations, energy storage safety, etc., so as to help enterprises formulate a more scientific and reasonable development strategy, and will inject new vitality and impetus into the development of China's battery industry.
