faramog - not unless gdpr consent has been obtained

The technology has been proven for the last 20 years.

What it proves is that you can site the world's biggest battery in the centre of a city of 8 million people.

exactly - looking forward to a few more bargains to add to my holdings in BMN and ATM

like jackals they simply hang around waiting for the weakest from the group to drop out.

The trouble is that this nonsense has to stop some time and there is now only a narrowing window of opportunity for them before the progress at the Dalian VRFB becomes worldwide news. I am fully expecting a launch by a senior Chinese official some time within the next 3 months.

exactly - eventually it will dawn on people that around 50% of the build cost of the VRFBs is the Vanadium electrolyte - and who makes that exactly ?

of shares right now - you couldn't buy shares in any significant quantity yesterday afternoon because the MMs were working that 360K share purchase - they couldn't get the shares they needed at sub 14p so were forced to move the price up to get some other buyers to pay higher.

This would appear to be quite a different situation to that which we've seen for much of the last 12 months, where shares were seemingly magic'd out of thin air to meet any buying demand.

Yes,

Bushveld Minerals is taking over the Energy Storage market.

Mike - Endion has summarised the first half nicely. The second half was even better with some eyewatering numbers for the need for battery storage for data centres in the US and summaries of work by Invinity and UET, as well as Bushveld Energy.

Sharesahoy - if you're not listening in on the IFBF then you should be because we just listened to Jim Stover of VRB energy explaining how easy it will be for the VRFB + V industry to scale up Vanadium production.

... multiple marine applications of Flow batteries in the marine sector ('exponential growth' was just mentioned)

I guess that is why we are currently into a programme of trebling our production, and Largo to, and numerous Australian primary production projects are queueing up to try and get funded.

Sharesahoy - I assume that you appreciate that Vanadium is more common than copper.

Sharesahoy - am I correct in understanding your point - you are concerned that we will not be able to take 100% of a multibillion market ?

sammy - the 12K video views needs to be considered in light of the average number of Crux views of interviews of that age, which is around 7-8K. Obviously anyone who wishes to put up a humorous cat video will get more than that because that is what those video somehow manage to get, but to compare apples with torque wrenches is misleading.

Furthermore I don't give a flying fig for the fact that some random bloke that you might meet outside the poundstretcher has not heard of Vanadium or can even spell it, that is not the point. Not everyone can be a sophisticated or well researched investor, which is why most of them playing on the spreadbet sites end up getting shafted. Those reading this board are the lucky ones, the others are either unlucky or lazy.

today the International Flow Battery Forum has VRB energy and Sumitomo talking about VRFBs from 2pm - who wants a registration link ?

Google is committed to 24x7 carbon free energy in their datacentres

https://sustainability.google/projects/24x7/

did anyone else hear him say that he thinks the USA alone might need 80GW of battery storage just to deal with data centres ?

listened in to Kenneth Davies yesterday. I know that faramog did, but who else ?

sammy58 - if you make Hydrogen by electrolysing water using renewable energy it is not dirty, just very wasteful. That electrical energy, so hard won, can better be stored by VRFBs.

Given the fact that Enerox have (previously as Cellcube and Gildemeister) over 5 Million operating hours on their flow batteries I think that Alexander probably has a very good idea of his numbers.

Ohhh and who owns 25% of Enerox ?
