Battery and Energy Storage Europe has confirmed its upcoming programme will spotlight the EU Battery Passport, with a particular focus on applications beyond electric vehicles.
Organisers describe the regulation as a cornerstone for Europe’s sustainable battery future, and the Barcelona event will highlight compliance challenges across stationary storage, industrial batteries, grid-scale systems, and emerging technologies in aerospace, maritime and rail electrification.
While the Battery Passport has been widely discussed in the EV sector, the September 2026 event will address overlooked areas that also fall under the regulation’s scope. With the February 2027 deadline looming, industry leaders, technology providers, and policy experts will gather to explore practical solutions for sectors facing unique compliance hurdles.
The dedicated programme will cover digital infrastructure, data management, supply chain integration, verification processes, and recycling traceability.
The Battery Passport itself is a digital record linked via QR code, documenting a battery’s lifecycle from raw material sourcing through production, performance and recycling. From February 2027, it becomes mandatory for all rechargeable EV, industrial, and LMT batteries above 2kWh sold in the EU.
“The Battery Passport represents one of the most significant regulatory shifts our industry has faced, yet many companies are still grappling with what implementation actually means for their operations,” said Ken Davies, conference programme director.
“Battery and Energy Storage Europe will shine a light on the practical implementation requirements for these often-overlooked sectors.”
Battery and Energy Storage Europe takes place 8–9 September 2026 at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via.
