EticaAG Featured in Energy Storage News’ 2026 Industry Report
EticaAG is proud to be featured in Energy Storage News’ Annual Report 2026, with our integrated safety platform highlighted on pages 21 and 22 of this year’s publication.
The Energy Storage Report 2026 explores the key trends shaping global battery energy storage, from grid-forming technology and evolving fire safety standards to large-scale deployments and project finance. Our inclusion underscores the industry’s accelerating focus on safety, performance, and long-term reliability.
The New Standard for Energy Storage Safety
The feature introduces EticaAG’s Integrated Fire & Gas Safety System, built around our two core technologies:
Together, these systems are designed to prevent thermal runaway propagation, eliminate fire-risk, and neutralize hazardous gases. This reinforces EticaAG’s mission to redefine safety expectations in battery energy storage.
Immersion Cooling as a Proactive Standard
On page 22, our advertorial titled “Immersion Cooling: Redefining Battery Energy Storage Safety and Performance” outlines why the industry is moving beyond indirect cooling and reactive suppression strategies.
The article highlights several key themes:
1. The Limits of Indirect Cooling
Traditional liquid plate systems rely on contact interfaces and coolant channels. Under high C-rate operation, temperature gradients can form across cells, accelerating aging and reducing usable capacity over time. Reactive suppression strategies then attempt to extinguish events after ignition, often shifting toward “Let it Burn” containment once escalation begins.
2. Direct Immersion for Thermal Control
EticaAG’s approach fully submerges battery cells in a non-toxic, dielectric synthetic ester fluid with a high fire point. By removing heat directly from all cell surfaces, immersion cooling eliminates interface losses, suppresses hot spot formation, and maintains tight temperature consistency.
EticaAG’s systems can maintain cells near 25 °C with minimal temperature variation, slowing degradation and supporting consistent performance across extreme climates.
3. Proactive Fire Prevention
By surrounding each cell with high fire point liquid, immersion cooling absorbs heat rapidly and displaces oxygen at the source. In a thermal runaway event, heat is confined to the originating cell, preventing propagation into a large-scale fire.
4. The Role of Advanced Fluids
The article also emphasizes the importance of the immersion medium itself. Synthetic ester fluids from Shell BESS Fluids are engineered for energy storage environments, combining strong dielectric properties, high fire point characteristics, oxidation stability, and long-term thermal durability. Their non-toxic and biodegradable formulation aligns with evolving environmental and ESG expectations.
5. Raising the Industry Standard
With increased scrutiny from regulators and communities, the article positions immersion cooling as a proactive safety architecture that enables deployment in safety-critical and densely populated areas while delivering predictable lifetime performance.
