Safety Science: Electrochemical Safety Research In the Energie Storage Safety Summit 2024 organized by The European Commission we told about the crucial role of first responders in the safety chain. Join Jetty Middelkoop and Kurt Vollmacher sharing the challenge of spreading knowledge and enhancing safety for all. This is our dream of the news in the future! #SafetyScience #ElectrochemicalSafety #FirstResponders #KnowledgeSharing
An ultra-conservative approach seems key here. PML’s Sam Fawcett: “There is huge potential for the increased use of the ocean and marine environment for carbon dioxide removal but this has to be done responsibly. From initial modelling to chemistry analysis and environmental impact assessment we use our expertise to ensure that projects such as this are underpinned by high quality science. This is essential in order to accurately confirm effectiveness, understand any potential knock-on consequences, optimise techniques and ultimately to build trust". https://lnkd.in/erNFCChQ

Market introduction of wave energy converters (WECs) demands a rigorous evaluation of failure consequence risks. In our latest publication featured in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, we present an innovative methodology for objectively assessing these risks. Our comprehensive study spans three distinct sites, encompassing both point absorber (PA) and oscillating water column (OWC) WECs. By analyzing 39 failure modes for PA and 30 for OWC, we illuminate their relative contributions. This research provides insights to prioritize cost-effective failure mitigation strategies during the operational phase of WECs.

Join Vinay Premnath, ESRI’s Director of Safety Research, for a talk on “Aerosol emissions during li-ion battery failure” during the upcoming SFPE Engineering Solutions Symposium from June 4-6 in Phoenix, Arizona. Lithium-ion batteries can experience failure in the form of thermal runaway due to internal defects and when subjected to off-nominal operating conditions. Such failures can result in the significant release of hazardous gaseous and particulate emissions, posing a severe risk to human health and the environment – and Vinay’s presentation will focus on these emissions.
