Global Battery Alliance launches second wave of Battery Passport pilots

Published

on

The pilots are the world’s largest, pre-competitive effort by battery cell manufacturers to create comparable battery passports and represent a major milestone towards establishing a sustainable battery value chain by 2030

BRUSSELS, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Battery Alliance (GBA), the largest multistakeholder organization in the energy storage space, bringing together over 160 members across the battery value chain and the wider ecosystem, today launches the second wave of its Battery Passport pilots including 11 pilot consortia.

Building on the successful launch of the world’s first Battery Passport proof of concept in 2023, the second wave of pilots will establish the Minimum Viable Product of the GBA Battery Passport, complete with a product level ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) score. The GBA has established 11 pilot consortia led by battery manufacturers including CALB Group Co. Ltd., Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), EVE Energy Co., Ltd, Farasis Energy, FinDreams Battery, LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and Sunwoda, together representing over 80% of the global electric vehicle battery market share. Working in a unique pre-competitive setting, the pilots also involve seven independent track and trace solution providers including Circularise, Circulor, Glassdome, Nanjing Fuchuang Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., RCS Global – an SLR company, Shenzhen Dianlian Technology, and Shenzhen Precise Testing Technology Co., Ltd.

In the context of increasing geo-strategic competition, the GBA pilots send a powerful message about the potential for international, pre-competitive collaboration to scale a sustainable battery value chain. Pilot participants will report on seven rulebooks developed by GBA multistakeholder working groups setting out harmonized sustainability performance expectations for seven metrics including the previously tested Greenhouse Gas rulebook, Human Rights and Child Labour indices and new rulebooks on Forced Labour, Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, Biodiversity and Circular Design. Based on the reporting, differentiated ESG scores will be issued. By issuing a score aimed at investors, procurement divisions and consumers, the GBA seeks to contribute to building a marketplace where products compete on independently validated and verifiable sustainability performance, triggering continuous improvement and a race to the top. Importantly, the current wave of pilots will introduce elements of data assurance to contribute to the secure sharing of trusted information.

The GBA expects to publish the results of the pilots by the end of year on the GBA website.

Supporting Local Independent Music Venues and Artists

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dallas based Mullen & Mullen Law Firm proudly announces the launch of the Mullen & Mullen Music Project, a dynamic initiative created in partnership with Spune Productions. The collaboration is designed to celebrate and rejuvenate the North Texas music scene by offering a platform for both emerging and established artists. The initiative kicked off with a Concert Series at local independent music venues.

Supporting Local Talent and Venues
Running from August to April, the Mullen & Mullen Music Project will feature 12 concerts at some of North Texas’s most cherished venues. The series kicked off on August 6th with a performance by Ben Nichols of Lucero at Club Dada. The Quaker City Night Hawks made their triumphant return at Tulips FTW on August 30th after a touring hiatus. The Quaker City Night Hawks concert was filmed on professional grade video cameras installed at the venue by the Music Project and live-edited by the firm’s videographer Sean Pollaro – himself a musician. The new cameras at Tulips FTW will serve as a wonderful content creation tool for local artists.

Enhancing the Music Experience
The Music Project has allowed participating venues to expedite substantial upgrades already underway. Ferris Wheelers Live has enhanced its suites and stage while embarking on an ambitious Ferris Wheel lighting project. Club Dada has upgraded its outdoor patio stage, and Tulips FTW installed the beforementioned state-of-the-art video and streaming system, enabling artists to record music and stream live performances. Each venue will also feature new murals designed and created by local artists.

A Community-Centered Initiative
Shane Mullen, Managing Attorney at Mullen & Mullen Law Firm, shared the firm’s vision: “The trust and loyalty of the North Texas community have been the foundation of our success. This project is our way of giving back by enriching the local cultural landscape and supporting the artists and venues that make our region unique.”
