Energy Storage Safety Summits

November 2025: Singapore Energy Storage Safety Summit

Advancing Safer Design and Use in EVs and Grid ESS

The Electrochemical Safety team is thrilled to announce its collaboration with the Singapore Battery Consortium to convene the Energy Storage Safety Summit on November 17-18, 2025, in the vibrant city of Singapore.

Building on the success of previous summits held across the globe, this event will explore Singapore’s electric vehicle (EV) and grid energy storage system (ESS) landscape, focusing on best practices, opportunities, and solutions that foster research collaborations and advance a safe and sustainable energy storage ecosystem.

The summit will bring together leading experts, researchers, and stakeholders from various sectors, including the EV and ESS industry, battery manufacturers, government agencies and regulators, research organizations, firefighters and emergency responders, and standards development organizations.

Scheduled for November 17-18, the summit promises to be an engaging platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation.

2024: Europe Energy Storage Safety Summit

The Electrochemical Safety team convened the Europe Energy Storage Safety Summit on October 8-9, 2024, in Petten, the Netherlands, in collaboration with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The summit hosted researchers and subject matter experts in the battery testing field from across Europe to share insights and knowledge on how to safely configure, design, test, and store cells and batteries in research and test facilities.

2023: Latin America Battery Safety Summit

In collaboration with UL Standards & Engagement, the Electrochemical Safety team hosted the LATAM Battery Safety Summit in Mexico City on August 8-9, 2023, bringing together around 100 participants for two days of knowledge-sharing, learning and collaboration. The event focused on increasing demand for electric mobility in the Latin America region.

Discussions on safe manufacturing and usage, challenges with safety, battery fires and emergency response, and the importance of standards and certification were held.

The summit also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to share their concerns and challenges and learn from the recommendations provided by our speakers and experts to address such issues. 

2019: India Energy Storage Summit

A safe, secure, and sustainable energy storage ecosystem for India

The Electrochemical Safety team convened the India Energy Storage Summit (IESS) on September 23-24, 2019, in partnership with the Centre for Battery Engineering and Electric Vehicles (C-BEEV) and Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and with the support of GE Global Research and the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) in Chennai, India.  

The IESS facilitated discussions on battery performance and safety, highlighting the importance of lithium-ion batteries tailored for India, effective battery swapping, and recycling technologies. It emphasized the need for innovative solutions to address range anxiety and charging time for EV users. 

Experts from relevant fields participated in the summit, including, original equipment manufacturers, battery manufacturers, EV charging, and battery swapping solution providers, academic researchers, the renewable energy sector, and organizations involved in developing safety and quality standards.
