4 FAQs about Netherlands All-vanadium Liquid Flow Energy Storage Project

What is a vanadium flow battery?

Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology at the forefront of grid stabilization and decarbonization. Alleviating materials criticality and addressing supply-chain risks of vanadium are key to sustaining the growth of VFB deployment.

How much vanadium is produced in Canada?

Canadian vanadium production is estimated to reach ca. 31,000 mT/year of contained vanadium, which would further greatly impact the global vanadium supply chain.

Are vfbs a 'working' reserve of vanadium?

For regions where vanadium consumption far exceeds production, which is true of most of North America, Europe, Japan, India, and East Asia, VFBs can serve as “working” reserves of vanadium while realizing the functionality of energy storage.

Why do we need a vanadium energy arbitrage?

When the economic value from the need to bridge vanadium scarcity or insufficient vanadium supply to meet critical needs outweighs the need for energy arbitrage, these vanadium reserves can be effectively and readily accessed, thus buffering demand for vanadium.
