Malaysia's Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) is partnering with CSIRO to study battery performance in the country's hot and humid tropical climate, aiming to fill a research gap in battery technology. Supported by the Australian government's Partnerships for Infrastructure initiative, the study will address challenges like corrosion and thermal runaway, essential for Malaysia's goal of achieving a 70% renewable energy share by 2050. Findings will guide policy and standards for battery deployment, with implications for the broader Southeast Asian region.
