Americase to Address Battery Regulations at 2025 OCP APAC Summit

Americase, renowned for its protective containers designed for hazardous materials, is set to share invaluable insights at the 2025 OCP APAC Summit in Taipei, Taiwan. Scheduled for August 5, 2025, the panel discussion titled "Understanding Global Regulations for ORV3-ready Data Centers with Batteries" will delve into the challenging landscape of battery technology regulations, especially in the context of large-scale data center deployments.

A Crucial Conversation

As data centers evolve to meet the burgeoning demands of AI and cloud computing, selecting an optimum battery chemistry has taken on heightened significance. While lithium-ion batteries are often favored due to their high energy density, they also fall into the Class 9 dangerous goods category, thereby introducing compliance hurdles related to logistics, installation, and fire safety. This discussion aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of lithium-ion batteries alongside emerging alternatives, focusing particularly on manganese-zinc (Mn-Zn) battery technology.

Panel Composition

The Americase panel will feature Chris Egloff, the Vice President of Strategic Business Opportunities at Americase, alongside James Emerson, a Lead Consultant from Critical Risk Solution, and Sebastian Belanger, CEO of ZELOS. Each panelist will contribute unique perspectives on regulatory complexities and safety considerations integral to battery technology in today's rapidly changing data center environments.

Key Discussion Points

The panel will explore several significant topics, including:

• - The implications of hazmat classifications for lithium-ion battery use.
• - The global regulatory requirements and associated costs of compliance.
• - How Mn-Zn batteries can simplify logistics and minimize risk related to insurance and handling.
• - The operational and financial advantages of shifting to non-hazardous battery chemistries.
• - The integration benefits for facilities aiming to meet ORV3 readiness standards.

Committing to Smart Infrastructure Solutions

Robby Kinsala, President and CEO of Americase, emphasized the importance of this dialogue, stating, "Batteries are no longer a background component—they're a strategic variable. The right battery technology paired with a comprehensive compliance strategy can drastically reduce operational risks, enhance safety, and facilitate large-scale deployments."

Americase’s participation in this panel reflects its commitment to guiding industry professionals towards smarter, safer, and more sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Who Should Attend

The summit encourages attendance from data center engineers, compliance specialists, energy strategy leaders, and infrastructure managers to engage in critical discussions surrounding battery technologies and regulations.
