This article examines how Digital Battery Passports (DBPs) can close critical information gaps for first responders dealing with electric vehicle (EV) fires and accidents. Using a recent battery fires in trucks, on ships, and airplanes as a reference points, it shows how a lack of real-time battery and rescue data delays firefighting and increases risk.

As Europe pushes forward with its green and digital transformation, securing sustainable access to critical raw materials (CRMs), such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, is more important than ever. These materials are essential to technologies like electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy systems, and digital infrastructure.

Every year, as the Christmas season approaches, families fill their shopping baskets with toys, the gifts that will make living rooms shine on Christmas Eve. But behind the anticipation lies a growing concern in the European toy market: the rise of harmful chemicals in toys, especially in those bought online or imported from outside the EU.
