根据CNESA全球储能项目库的不完全统计,截至2022年底,中国新型储能继续高速发展,累计装机规模首次突破10GW,达到13.1GW/27.1GWh,功率规模年增长率达128%,能量规模年增长率达141%,超过了过去十年累计的装机量,中国储能装机规模也一跃成为全球第一。然而,电化学储能离不开锂电池,锂电池一旦发生内部短路或外部短路导致电池热失控,就极易引发火灾,造成巨大的损失。因此,预防锂电池火灾势在必行!

2023年2月,欧盟下属的ECHA(欧洲化学品管理局)公布了一份限制提案,提议禁止生产和使用PFAS。 2022年10月,3M公司宣布到2025年底将退出和停止所有PFAS的生产和使用,并表示在过去三年中已经减少了这些化学品的使用,其中就包含Novec 1230(全氟己酮)。

How PFAS is Affecting the Fire Suppression Industry
February 9, 2023
The discontinuation of 3M Novec 1230 as a special hazard fire suppression agent due to PFAS brings more struggles to the special hazard fire suppression industry.
The hot topic in the fire suppression industry, as well as several others, is the shift away from PFAS chemicals. In particular, the use of PFAS chemicals in special hazards fire suppression systems will no longer be an option. 3M, a major multinational chemical manufacturer, announced that it would stop producing Novec 1230 by the end of 2025. Novec 1230 is a popular “clean agent” fire suppression chemical, often used in mission-critical facilities where water damage by water sprinkler systems would create catastrophic problems. With an extreme amount of litigation (3,287 lawsuits between January 2020 and December. 2021, according to Bloomberg Law), 3M announced the discontinuation of all products that include these chemicals. However, this move has the industry wondering – what comes next?
What is PFAS?
PFAS stands for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances. As explained by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), PFAS molecules have a chain of linked carbon and fluorine atoms. These create very strong carbon-fluorine bonds that take a long time to degrade. Due to this, they’re commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” PFAS chemicals have been associated with a wide variety of serious health issues, including cancer.
The fact that these chemicals fail to degrade for an unknown amount of time, agencies such as NIEHS are concerned about the potential for damage to human health due to issues such as bioaccumulation and long-term exposure to PFAS. These concerns have led to widespread restrictions and bans on PFAS chemicals.
How is This Affecting the Fire Suppression Industry?
Special hazard fire suppression systems have been affected by new legislation aimed at restricting and banning the use of PFAS. In fact, many very effective special hazard fire suppression “clean agents” have met their end due to environmental and health concerns. The manufacture of Halon 1301, one of the earliest and most effective clean agents, was banned in 1994 because it was classified as an ozone-depleting chemical. The manufacturing of FM200, the most popular Halon replacement, began a phase-out in 2022 for being identified as a global warming agent. And in 2025 the production of Novec 1230 will be discontinued by 3M. Finally, AFFF firefighting foams have been severely restricted or outright banned in most areas. This has created a challenge to the fire protection industry as they
Ultimately, the special hazard fire suppression industry is facing another major setback as they continue to search for a clean agent that is effective and easy to use. The agent also needs to be safe for use around humans without having a significant negative impact on the environment.
Only time will tell what is next for special hazard suppression agents as the fire suppression industry continues its research and development into appropriate alternatives.

PFAS如何影响灭火行业
2023年2月9日
PFAS灭火
3M Novec 1230作为一种特殊危险灭火剂因PFAS而停产,这给特殊危险灭火行业带来了更多的困难。
灭火行业以及其他几个行业的热门话题是远离PFAS化学品。特别是,在特殊危险灭火系统中使用PFAS化学品将不再是一种选择。大型跨国化学品制造商3M公司宣布,将在2025年底前停止生产Novec 1230。Novec 1230是一种流行的“清洁剂”灭火化学品,经常用于关键任务设施,喷水灭火系统对水的破坏会造成灾难性问题。由于诉讼数量巨大(根据彭博法律,2020年1月至2021年12月期间有3287起诉讼),3M公司宣布停止生产包括这些化学品的所有产品。然而,这一举动让业界感到疑惑——接下来会发生什么?
什么是PFAS?
PFAS代表全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质。正如美国国家环境健康科学研究所(NIEHS)所解释的那样,PFAS分子有一条连接的碳原子和氟原子链。这些会产生非常强的碳-氟键,需要很长时间才能降解。因此,它们通常被称为“永久化学品”。PFAS化学品与包括癌症在内的各种严重健康问题有关。
事实上,这些化学品在未知的时间内无法降解,NIEHS等机构担心,由于生物累积和长期接触全氟辛烷磺酸等问题,可能会对人类健康造成损害。这些担忧导致了对全氟辛烷磺酸化学品的广泛限制和禁令。
这对灭火行业有何影响?
旨在限制和禁止使用PFAS的新立法影响了特殊危险灭火系统。事实上,由于环境和健康问题,许多非常有效的特殊危险灭火“清洁剂”已经达到了极限。哈龙1301是最早、最有效的清洁剂之一,1994年被禁止生产,因为它被列为消耗臭氧层的化学品。FM200是最受欢迎的哈龙替代品,由于被认定为全球变暖剂,其生产于2022年开始逐步淘汰。到2025年,3M将停止Novec 1230的生产。最后,AFFF消防泡沫在大多数地区受到严格限制或彻底禁止。这给消防行业带来了挑战,因为他们
最终,特殊危险灭火行业正面临另一个重大挫折,因为他们正在继续寻找一种有效且易于使用的清洁灭火剂。该制剂还需要在人类周围安全使用,不会对环境产生重大负面影响。
只有时间才能告诉我们,随着灭火行业继续研究和开发合适的替代品,特种危险灭火剂的下一步会是什么。
