Beam Global, a leading provider of sustainable infrastructure solutions for electrification and energy security, has been granted a new patent by the European Patent Office. The patent covers Beam Global's Phase Change Composite (PCC™) material for Lithium-ion batteries, which is designed to act as an intelligent thermal switch to improve battery safety, reliability, performance, and lifespan, particularly in extreme operating environments.

Why it matters

Securing strong patent protection in key markets like Europe is a high priority for Beam Global as it continues to grow its international operations. The company's battery solutions are deployed by customers operating advanced technologies in harsh, remote, or mission-critical environments where conventional battery technologies struggle to perform reliably.

The details

Beam Global's newly allowed European patent claims expand upon its existing U.S. patent and extend the company's intellectual property protection into Europe. The Smart PCC™ material is designed to insulate batteries in cold conditions while passively keeping them cooler when exposed to high temperatures, accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of phase change composites.

  • Beam Global was granted the new European patent on January 29, 2026.
