Technical FAQs 4

What are vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs)?

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) are the simplest and most developed flow batteries in commercial operation, and are well-positioned to take a significant share of the stationary energy storage market.

Which flow battery chemistries are gaining traction?

In the last few years, other flow battery chemistries to gain traction include iron, iron-chrome and zinc-bromine. Some are even looking at vanadium and either iron or chrome flow batteries Guidehouse forecasts that VFB’s will account for 32,800 MWh by 2031, a market share of ~20% of the stationary storage market.

What is the contribution of energy storage to vanadium demand?

The contribution of energy storage to vanadium demand is increasing rapidly 1. Overview and examples of recent VFB projects and installations outside of China (1/2) Invinity will supply an 8.4MWh VFB to a solar-plus-storage project in Alberta, Canada. It will be paired with a 21MW solar PV plant.

Does Bushveld Minerals support vanadium in the energy transition?

Bushveld Minerals has positioned itself to support vanadium’s role in the energy transition. Its vertical integration strategy combines primary vanadium mining, beneficiation, and downstream energy storage businesses to drive adoption of VRFBs.
