RE: V demand set to double by 203224 Feb 2023 09:16
These few paragraphs taken from the link below kinda makes the naysayers on VRFB’s look a bit foolish.
Vanadium’s bread and butter has traditionally been its use in high strength steel but as the world rushes to decarbonise, market analysts believe its use in safe, low-cost energy storage batteries will soon take over.
With a current market of ~110,000 tonnes in 2022, commodity analysts CRU Group expects vanadium demand to double by 2032, owing more than 90% of this growth to its use in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs).
VRFBs are used in large scale, battery storage systems that store excess power from the grid for use during peak demand periods.
