This 7 MWh (about 175 modules) of VRFBs is just the start

exactly Paludina - SLAP bang in the middle of a city of more than 6 million people - that is more than Paris, Barcelona or Berlin.

Does anyone think they could put the world's largest Lithium ion battery in such a place ?

I've often compared the size of the Dalian battery to the size of Trafalgar square. Turns out it is not just the same size but it's exactly the same sort of location, save for a few neonazis chucking beer cans about.

Gillam is still behind the curve. The roof went on two weeks ago.

I think that there is a lot more development to come in power stacks.

yes he works for the same company (AES now fluence) that built the Lithium ion battery in Arizona last year ( https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/arizona-battery-explosion-conventional-wisdom-safety )

Apparently it was 'gas not batteries' that exploded - so that is alright then and I am sure that it will make the firefighters that were injured a lot happier.

Evidently they are now running sh*tscared because of the obvious safety advantages that VRFBs have over Lithium-ion. The good thing is that this is no longer secret it is blindingly obvious to everyone looking in on the energy storage industry.

in short it is rather an obvious hatchet attempt on the VRFB industry. I wonder why. Are they getting worried now ?

SG - we went over this article yesterday. The guy who wrote it is a self-titled 'technology futurist' who is all mouth and no trousers and is head of something or other at Fluence which is what the big Lithium-ion battery company AES became.

is it one of those rollover days ?

I wonder if he felt the need to have a go at bashing other technologies to distract from this story:-

but you know his skills don't just stop with energy storage. Our Marek is one real multifaceted and humble polymath as the following sections of his website make clear.

The Explorer
The Photographer
The Volunteer
The Mentor
The Googler
The Ambassador
The Polyglot
The Actor
The Physicist
The YLUKer (yes, whatever that is)

Everybody have fun reading that and whatever you do don't feel inferior to our one true genius Marek.

Indeed daitom - if you find out a bit more about who wrote it you find that it is by a self-appointed 'technology futurist' called Marek Kubik who has obviously been sipping out of the same spring as ever-young Mr Musk.

Our Marek is an avid travelling and digital 'nomad' and takes over 100 flight a year, wooo hooo how good for a pioneer of cleantech but I do worry how well that strategy is going at present ?

If I recall he was the same bloke who stood up at the Aurora conference last year and pleaded passionately that we must not divide the battery storage into short duration and long duration (i.e. over 4 hours) because dontcha know Lithium-ion batteries can go for more than 4 hours if you join them together.

The guy is all mouth.

just to go back to the numbers that they quoted in that Technology Metals video 28 Million Pounds of V2O5 per year (12,700 Tonnes V2O5 = 7,100 Tonnes V) would probably be smaller than Largo (currently 6,560 TonnesV PA) by the time that the TM plant was built. Furthermore their opex cost of $4.04/Lb (US dollars here) would work out at around 15.9 USD/KgV which is more than the Vametco mine, which is over 40 years old.

Last year (https://www.tmtlimited.com.au/sites/default/files/asx-announcements/6941650.pdf ) it was slated to cost over US$320 million to build their plant, but a financier is unlikely to come forward to do this until Windimurra has got back running, as a financier could well ask 'what happens if Windimurra gets back running ?'.

SG - their cool music had me going until they said that their ore body dipped at 60 degrees - that makes it somewhat harder to recover with an open cast mine.

yes it is ridiculous isn't it Raz - we all know why this is it is because the AIM market is broken and run by Market Makers who are constantly running shorts on the businesses that list on the market. Effectively they are simply leaches bleeding these companies and their shareholders dry.

Fortune is, I am confident, fully aware of this and is planning his next move as we speak. I expect Enerox to come first, possibly at a knock down price as Stina self combusts and then potentially a move to the main market. Such news could drop at any moment.

V2O5 up 22% in just over 3 weeks Loudspeaker.

It looks like China is ahead of the rest of the world in 1) coming out of lockdown 2) VRFB megabattery roll out

If here today gone tomorrow day traders in the UK cannot see that this is a thing then I truly feel sorry for them.

not at all daisy we can post as much as you want

the Market Makers want to have you shares.

Then when they have got them, they will sell higher.

Twazzocks

knuttie - they've been trying all day to get shares at reduced prices - repeatedly dropping the bid to try and spoof people into giving them cheap shares. The thing is it isn't working and their game have simply stalled the trading.

They are just not getting the sells they need - on a volume of 1.2M 0.7M are buys and only 0.5M are sells.

All I can say is thank you very much
