Technical FAQs 4

Why is Vanadium so popular in South Africa?

The relative ease of vanadium electrolyte production and the availability of vanadium in South Africa further enhances the attractiveness of this specific flow technology.” Vanadium forms one of SA’s largest mineral resources... and localisation.” you attention.

Does South Africa have a high-grade vanadium resource?

The country holds some of the world’s richest high-grade vanadium reserves (exceeding 1.5% V₂O₅) and produced 8% of global supply in 2024. With vanadium now designated as a “moderate-to-high” critical mineral under South Africa’s Critical Minerals and Metals Strategy, the opportunity to build a competitive downstream industry is clear.

How many tons of vanadium is needed for a VfB market?

The implication for vanadium producers is also significant, as based on Vanitec calculations, this VFB market would require between 127,500 and 173,8000 tons of additional annual vanadium production. That is over twice current production. 1. The contribution of energy storage to vanadium demand is increasing rapidly

Is South Africa a good place to invest in vanadium?

South Africa is well-positioned to benefit from this growth. The country holds some of the world’s richest high-grade vanadium reserves (exceeding 1.5% V₂O₅) and produced 8% of global supply in 2024.
