Moment Energy, a company specialising in second life energy storage, has been granted the UL 1974 certification for its collection, testing, storing and manufacturing processes that go into taking used electric vehicle (EV) batteries and repurposing them into stationary energy storage systems (ESS). The company is aiming to ramp up its current manufacturing facility to 25MWh of annual production capacity and plans to construct a factory with a manufacturing capacity of 1GWh by 2025. The certification makes it the “ideal partner for automotive original equipment manufacturers looking to invest confidently in sustainable battery repurpose and utilisation” and makes it a key partner for manufacturers. The company has deployed six microgrid projects to date, including a project for the Canadian Department of National Defence. In 2019, Tokyo-based 4R Energy, which is the first globally to be certified to UL 1974, became the first global to do so and will be fully deployed in Q1 2024.
