Crowcon has been shortlisted for ‘Safety Product of the Year’ at the 2025 Energy Storage Awards, recognising its commitment to advancing safety within the global energy storage industry through innovative gas detection technology.

Now in their third year, the Energy Storage Awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and dedication across the fast-evolving energy storage sector. Organised by Solar Media, the awards honour companies and individuals driving progress towards a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future.

The Safety Product of the Year category recognises the most influential, helpful, and trendsetting safety-focused solution, software application, component, or service platform that has been instrumental in supporting the energy storage industry’s contribution to the global energy transition. This award highlights products that are not only innovative but have made a measurable impact in enhancing safety across the sector.

Crowcon’s shortlisted entry centres on the Xgard Bright, a versatile fixed gas detector that plays a critical role in protecting people and property across the battery value chain, from manufacture to large-scale energy storage.

As lithium-ion batteries continue to dominate the market due to their high energy density and efficiency, the risks associated with thermal runaway, including fire, explosion and toxic gas release, are increasingly under the spotlight. The Xgard Bright provides continuous, early detection of harmful emissions, integrating seamlessly with battery management and safety systems to deliver rapid alerts that enable timely intervention.

Powered by advanced MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) sensor technology, Xgard Bright combines TrueLEL™ multi-gas accuracy with immunity to false alarms and sensor poisoning. This delivers reliable, early warning of off-gassing, often the first indicator of battery failure, enabling operators to prevent incidents before they escalate.

With over 20,000 units deployed globally, including installations with leading battery manufacturers such as CATL, EVE, Jinko, HyperStrong and Hithium, Xgard Bright has become a trusted choice for ensuring the safety of energy storage operations worldwide.

“We’re proud to be shortlisted for Safety Product of the Year. As the use of lithium-ion batteries continues to grow, so too does the need for reliable, early detection of potential risks. Xgard Bright has become a vital part of ensuring safer energy storage environments, and this recognition highlights the importance of innovation in keeping people and assets protected.”
