SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Climate action solution leader Shift Clean Energy, and Kokam, a global provider 
of innovative lithium-ion battery solutions and a subsidiary of SolarEdge 
Technologies Inc., are excited to announce a long-term partnership for the 
marine market. Specifically designed for commercial and industrial 
applications, Shift's battery design with Kokam battery cells delivers among 
the most robust industrial Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) currently available 
on the market and is a significant factor in helping to drive the transition 
from diesel to electricity in marine applications.  

Kokam's field-proven high-performance battery cells ensure less heat creation 
and efficient heat dissipation in order to minimize energy loss. At the same 
time, the cells support vigorous and continuous operations, allowing for a 
safe, stable and durable battery system that can withstand challenging 
conditions over time.  

Shift's unique cooling system provides maximized benefits to customers looking 
to electrify propulsion systems in the marine sector. Their ESS provide fire 
prevention and durability, when tested at temperatures as high as 950° Celsius 
for over an hour. Shift's ESS design, coupled with their e-Pod swappable 
batteries, further demonstrates their commitment to safe operations and of the 
resilience of their cores for their entire life of service.

"We are proud to work with Kokam, our partner of choice," said Brent Perry, 
CEO, Shift Clean Energy. "Our customers can now be confident that when they are 
choosing Shift to provide them with a climate action solution using 
electrification, they are getting the advanced lithium cells from Kokam."

"Kokam is delighted to be working with Shift on developing versatile battery 
solutions for marine applications. We are proud to be a part of Shift's 
creative solutions with our innovative cell technologies. We will continue to 
develop solutions that contribute to decarbonizing marine power sources to 
further a more sustainable future," said Ike Hong, CMO of Kokam.

Shift and Kokam will together help transform the inland waterways, ports and 
windfarms of the world by offering these different verticals, zero emission 
solutions over the next few years, well ahead of the goals set out by the IMO 
(International Marine Organization) of achieving 50% reduction in emissions by 
2050.
