Is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry poised for growth?Cell stacks at a large-scale VRFB demonstration plant in Hubei, China. Image: VRB Energy. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years, equal to nearly 33GWh a year of deployments by 2030, according to new forecasting.
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.
Are flow batteries a barrier to long-duration storage capacity?As mentioned earlier, one barrier for flow batteries has been the limited number of deployments historically relative to Li-ion technologies. However, as demand for long-duration storage capability grows, flow batteries and especially VRFBs are poised to accelerate in deployment capacity.
Why are flow batteries accelerating in deployment capacity?However, as demand for long-duration storage capability grows, flow batteries and especially VRFBs are poised to accelerate in deployment capacity. This is important not only to build confidence in the commercial performance of VRFBs but also to achieve economies of scale and become more cost-effective.
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 technologi
