  • Battery forces stand together: it goes fast from here on – PBES Featured in TU Publication

    PBES’ Brent Perry and Erik Ianssen featured in the Norwegian publication TU, by Tore Stensvold. Bellow is our translated version.

    OSLO COPENHAGEN: Erik Ianssen founder of Selfa Arctic can conclude that the world’s first electric fishing boat, Selfa El – Max1099, runs like clockwork. For a whole month, without interruptions, the electric fishing vessel has been fishing continuously and caught 35 tons of fish. “It is absolutely fantastic. It has caught a lot of fish too” says Ianssen.

    Ianssen has, since climate summit in 1997, aimed to bring down Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions. “I have as a primary objective to remove 10 percent of the annual consumption of diesel in marine use. Norway’s total sales of petroleum products is 8.9 billion liters, and shipping use approximately 800 million liters. It must come down” says Ianssen.

    He is very happy about the recent decision by the Norwegian Parliament that all ferry crossings should be zero or low emissions when they are put out to tender. Parliament also demands that the government presents a plan to cut emissions in the coastal ship fleet.    (more…)

  • Lithium Veterans Set New Standard In Battery Fire Safety and Prevention

    Canadian company reinvents lithium batteries to prevent fire and explosion

    Vancouver, BC, Canada, October 20, 2015 – Battery company PBES has commercialized the worlds first energy storage system to significantly reduce fire and explosion risk from high power lithium batteries.

    PBES CoolCellTM and Thermal-StopTM thermal runaway protection systems allow batteries that are over charged or over heated to effectively reduce explosion risk and cascading thermal runaway. That is eliminating the tendency for lithium battery fires to spread uncontrolled from a single cell to the rest of the system.
