Prudent Energy received permission last month to operate the world’s largest vanadium flow battery. Growing commercial use of VRB systems is expected to cause a surge in demand for the mineral.
If vanadium redox batteries for energy storage become the norm, demand for vanadium will surge and current supply is in no shape to meet that demand.
The Age reported that the technology for vanadium redox batteries, considered to be a solution for clean power generation in the US and beyond, was developed in Australia.
Greentechgrid reported that recent $29.5 million in funding will help Prudent Energy increase production of vanadium redox batteries.
Renewable Energy World reported on the increasing demand for vanadium in battery technology.
Vanadium redox battery are gaining the attention of commercial operations as well as governments as a large scale energy storage solution.
