Shift Clean Energy has secured Type Approval from the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) and Japanese Marine Standards (NK) for its energy storage system (ESS).

The firm’s lithium-ion battery-based ESS is suitable for hybrid or fully electric propulsion systems for marine, offshore and inland waterway applications.

It can also be used for land-based industrial and renewable energy applications.

Shift’s batteries feature a patented integrated cooling system, with each battery cell enclosed in its own cooling channel.

Shift founder and CEO Brent Perry said: “We are proud to lead the market with our energy storage systems that have received the most Type Approvals on the market for safety and quality standards. At Shift, safety is our number one priority.

“Our focus has always been on building the safest and most robust energy storage solutions to electrify and decarbonise.”
