The Moss Landing Power Plant in Monterey County, California experienced a severe thermal runaway event on January 16, 2025, forcing the evacuation of 1,700 residents within a 5-mile radius. As the world's largest grid-connected battery facility with 750MW capacity, the fire burned for 72 hours before containment, destroying 80% of the 300MW battery array installed in 2020.

Thermal Break
Thermal insulation materials capable of withstanding ultra-high temperatures up to 1300°C, composed of nanoporous silica aerogel and porous silicon dioxide lightweight composite materials. Their non-conductive thermal properties can be used to prevent thermal runaway. Widely applied in aerospace, aviation, electric vehicle batteries, energy storage and other fields requiring lightweight solutions and isolation of high-temperature diffusion.
