The Australian Accounting Standards Board has approved the final Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards ensuring global consistency and comparability. Sustainability reporting guide. A one-stop-shop for guidance and insights on sustainability reporting, designed to help companies prepare for mandatory sustainability reporting.
Bloomberg is forecasting a 15-fold increase in energy storage globally by 2030, representing 387 GW/1143 GWh of new energy storage capacity (Figure 1). 1 There are a wide range of storage technologies aiming to meet this demand, including compressed air, thermal energy, and gravity-based storage. However, BESS using lithium iron phosphate batteries
safety in energy storage systems. At the workshop, an overarching driving force was identified that impacts all aspects of documenting and validating safety in energy storage; deployment of energy storage systems is ahead of the codes, standards and regulations (CSRs) needed to appropriately regulate deployment. To address this
NERC should conduct a detailed analysis of existing NERC Reliability Standards and guidelines to ensure that they adequately provide for a large increase in the critical mass of BESS,
On July 31, 2023, the European Commission (the "Commission") adopted the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (the "ESRSs") for use by all entities subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (the
This article summarizes key codes and standards (C&S) that apply to grid energy storage systems. The article also gives several examples of industry efforts to update or create new standards to remove gaps in energy storage C&S and to accommodate new and emerging energy storage technologies. While modern battery technologies, including lithium
In recent years, installation codes and standards have been updated to address modern energy storage applications which often use new ESS technologies. The 2018 editions of the International Fire Code,

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684, 2021) directed the Secretary of Energy to prepare a report identifying the existing codes and standards for energy storage technologies. The stated goals for the report are to enhance the safe development of energy storage systems by identifying codes that require updating and facilitation
Topical standards. In addition to the mandatory cross-cutting standards, the ESRS framework includes ten topical standards that delve into specific ESG topics. These topical standards provide specialized frameworks for comprehensive disclosure in areas such as climate change, human rights, and biodiversity. While not mandatory, these standards
