6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Reasons for the acceleration of commercialization of vanadium battery energy storage”
Can vanadium flow batteries decarbonize the power sector?
Vanadium flow batteries show technical promise for decarbonizing the power sector. High and volatile vanadium prices limit deployment of vanadium flow batteries. Vanadium is globally abundant but in low grades, hindering economic extraction. Vanadium's supply is highly concentrated as co-/by-product production.
Is vanadium redox chemistry a good choice for a battery?
While the battery architecture can host many different redox chemistries, the vanadium RFB (VRFB) represents the current state-of-the-art due to its favorable combination of performance and longevity. However, the relatively high and volatile price of vanadium has hindered VRFB financing and deployment opportunities.
Can vanadium production be stabilized?
In the longer term, the largest potential to grow and stabilize vanadium production – contingent upon crucial technological advances in vanadium extraction and recovery from low-grade sources – likely lies in principal mining, as vanadium is relatively abundant globally with major deposits in each inhabited continent [ 79 ].
Is the prohibitive price of vanadium a supply chain problem?
Thus, the prohibitive price of vanadium may remain a separate issue from the supply chain challenges discussed here. One method to reduce the burden of the vanadium price does exist via a new market of electrolyte leasing, where a third-party company leases the vanadium – usually in the form of VRFB electrolyte – to a battery vendor or end-user.
How can a vanadium production scale-up accelerate a rapid supply chain growth?
To meet or exceed the limits identified for 2030 and 2050 deployment (which assume 10% CAGRs), production scale-up must accelerate relative to historic vanadium CAGRs (<4%) [ 49, 72 ]. Rapid supply chain growth relies on the expansion of existing vanadium production routes as well as economical beneficiation of new vanadium precursor sources.
Why is the vanadium market so volatile?
We found that the vast majority of vanadium is produced as a co-/by-product in a highly concentrated supply chain, which helps explain the extreme volatility in supply and price witnessed in the vanadium market. These factors also cause concern for the upper bound of the rates at which annual supply can feasibly grow.
