New methods for energy storage are being developed to reduce the environmental impact and dependency on fossil fuels. The development and use of Lithium-ion Batteries is central in this context. However, such batteries can present a risk to people, property and the environment if not handled, packaged, classified and declared properly. Particularly during transport potential risks have to be assessed and mitigated.
In this webinar various expert contributors to the CINS Guidelines on “Lithium-Ion Batteries in Containers” discuss the current safety requirements, emergency response and firefighting and appropriate risk assessment measure:
