🔋 SafeLiBatt Webinar – Safety & Risk Assessment of 1st and 2nd Life Lithium-Ion Batteries

The rapid growth of electric vehicles will generate a large volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries — creating a significant secondary market for second-life applications.

While second-life LIBs offer clear environmental and economic benefits, they also introduce complex safety challenges. Current standards are largely designed for first-life batteries and do not fully reflect the heterogeneous history, ageing behaviour and failure characteristics of repurposed cells and packs.

Join us for a webinar presenting the results of the SafeLiBatt project, funded by SAF€RA.

The session will cover:

• Differences in safety risks between 1st and 2nd life applications

• Thermal runaway initiation, failure propagation and heat release

• Toxic gaseous emissions under abuse scenarios

• Risk assessment criteria across the full lifecycle

• Mitigation strategies for storage, transport and repurposing

• Governance, insurance, risk perception and stakeholder acceptance

• Implications for regulation and standardisation

📅 March 25⏰ 11:00–12:00 CET

This webinar is relevant for industrial safety experts, researchers, regulators, and battery lifecycle stakeholders.
