ABS Report Explores Emerging Maritime Battery Technologies

The latest advances in battery technologies have the potential to not only support direct electrification and the integration of alternative fuels but also offer pathways to enhance operational efficiency and reduce fuel costs, according to the latest analysis from ABS.

The report, Emerging Battery Technologies in the Maritime Industry Volume II expands understanding of the inherent safety risks associated with emerging battery systems, particularly thermal runaway (TR) and gas emissions.

The report also delivers actionable insights to guide the safe implementation and development of comprehensive safety strategies and is intended as a resource for operators looking to incorporate advanced battery technologies into their fleets.

The study explores the latest advancements in technologies including lithium-ion (Li-ion) and six, next-generation batteries, evaluating the maturity, benefits and challenges of energy storage systems for marine and offshore applications.
