How can vanadium redox flow batteries increase their share in energy storage?Overcoming the barriers related to high capital costs, new supply chains, and limited deployments will allow VRFBs to increase their share in the energy storage market. Guidehouse Insights has prepared this white paper, commissioned by Vanitec, to provide an overview of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and their market drivers and barriers.
Will flow battery suppliers compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply?Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it’s possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
Why are vanadium batteries so expensive?Vanadium makes up a significantly higher percentage of the overall system cost compared with any single metal in other battery technologies and in addition to large fluctuations in price historically, its supply chain is less developed and can be more constrained than that of materials used in other battery technologies.
What happens if you use vanadium in a VRFB?Its vanadium supply will then be used to produce electrolyte that can be provided to VRFB systems, essentially “erasing” the cost of vanadium from the total system cost. Because vanadium does not degrade after use in a VRFB, investors can maintain the value of their holdings.
How efficient are flow batteries compared to Li-ion batteries?Flow batteries average between 70%-85% round-trip efficiency, compared with 90%-95% average for Li-ion batteries, potentially affecting the economics of projects based around bulk shifting of energy.
Are VRFBs a major source of new demand for vanadium?Many stakeholders in the vanadium industry see VRFBs as a major source of new demand for the metal that has traditionally been used in steel alloys. This dynamic has resulted in government programs to support the technology’s development in Chi
