Australian Vanadium Ltd (ASX:AVL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Singapore-based vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) manufacturer, V-Flow Tech Pte Ltd (V-Flow).
The MOU provides opportunities relating to VRFBs and includes development of:
Vanadium products (V2O5) offtake to V-Flow in Singapore to support global battery sales;
Vanadium electrolyte manufacture and supply in Australia for V-Flow VRFBs;
Sales agreement with AVL’s 100% owned subsidiary VSUN Energy for VRFB sales in Australia; and
VRFB service and maintenance.
The MOU is non-binding and for a term of two years with an option to renew for a further 12 months by agreement in writing, with a 30-day notice period on either side for termination.
“Underpins vanadium product sales”
AVL managing director Vincent Algar said: “As AVL confirms its offtake partner strategy for the Australian Vanadium Project, both battery and steel customers from diverse geographical regions will underpin our vanadium product sales.
“VRFB manufacturers around the world have their own particular product strengths and capabilities, offering variants of sizes and capacity.
“V-Flow’s small VRFB is now available from VSUN Energy to small commercial and residential customers, supporting a rapidly growing market sector in Australia.
“VSUN Energy is actively working on deployment of V-Flow VRFB’s into projects in the Australian market, as well as the south-east Asian market.”
The V-Flow VRFB will be marketed to both on and off-grid residential customers, telecommunications and grid-attached small commercial settings – and it can be deployed immediately to this smaller range size of customer as the company has a Clean Energy Council compliant inverter system.
“Developing market in Australia”
V-Flow CEO Dr Avishek Kumar said: “Australia has great potential for small to mid-size batteries for household and remote microgrid application.
“V-Flow batteries are a safe and higher performing product, designed to meet this market segment.
“We are privileged to partner with VSUN Energy to jointly develop this market in Australia.
“VSUN Energy has a strong base in Australia and already has many potential opportunities for our batteries.
“In addition, our partnership with AVL will be able to boost the supply chain strategy for vanadium electrolyte.
“We are looking forward to powering many more Australian homes with locally produced electrolyte from AVL and contributing towards circular economy.”
VRFB longevity and durability
VRFBs are characterised by longevity and durability and offer a non-flammable energy storage with virtually unlimited cycles.
V-Flow’s VRFBs can operate in a temperature range of -10°C to +55°C without active cooling and the batteries have a lifespan of 25 years, w
Having watched the film "Dark Waters" over the weekend, I would imagine we won't be short of work over the coming years.

It's Black Friday, treat yourselves to one of the best deals on the market.
The reporter learned that from January to October this year, the project has completed an investment of 190 million yuan, accounting for 127.5 percent of the annual plan. At present, 6140 square meters of 30 MWh flow battery integration demonstration workshops and 6,130 square meters of flow batteries have been built. In the module production workshop, the first production line with an annual output of 200 MW flow battery stack and an annual output of 40,000 cubic meters of energy storage electrolyte production line have entered the equipment installation and commissioning stage, and will be put into production before the end of the year.
In addition, the project is in line with the national strategic emerging industry development deployment, and has outstanding advantages in the deep integration of the new energy industry and the ecological economy. The company has a complete set of core flow battery technologies that are internationally leading and has independent intellectual property rights. After reaching production, the annual output value will reach 2.6 billion. Yuan, 300 people will be employed.
"The related technology jointly developed by us and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is internationally leading and has independent intellectual property rights." Fu Hongtao said that at present, flow batteries are emerging technologies with broad market prospects. The next step will continue to increase scientific research and development to reduce costs. , To build a green circular all-vanadium industrial chain structure integrating "vanadium resources-vanadium new materials-liquid flow energy storage-technological innovation-application promotion", and accelerate the industrialization process of the project.

Western Net News (Reporter Ma Qingru, Li Zhuoran, He Tong, Du Peng, Li Dianqing) What should I do if solar photovoltaic or wind power is not used up? All vanadium redox flow energy storage batteries can solve this problem. On November 21, the 2020 key project observation activity in Shaanxi Province came to the site of Ankang’s new flow battery R&D and production and multi-energy integration complementary project. Here, through the new model of "clean energy + energy storage technology", scientific and technological innovation is used as " Electricity has found a "new home".
"The two 8-meter-high iron drums in front of you are our all-vanadium redox flow energy storage batteries, which can store 10,000 kWh of electricity. If a family of three uses 500 kWh a month, this battery can supply them with two Years.” In the energy storage workshop of the project, Fu Hongtao, deputy general manager of Shaanxi Huayin Technology Co., Ltd. pointed to two giant “iron barrels” and introduced them to the reporters from Western Net and Shaanxi Toutiao.
It is understood that Ankang’s new-type flow battery R&D and production and multi-energy integration complementary project has a planned land area of ??70.2 acres, of which the first phase covers an area of ??50 acres, with a construction area of ??16,000 square meters, and builds 6,140 square meters of 30 MWh flow battery integration demonstration Workshops, 6130 square meters of flow battery module production workshops and supporting auxiliary facilities, etc., form 2 annual production capacity of 400 MW flow battery stacks and 40,000 cubic meters of energy storage electrolyte.
Fu Hongtao said that the flow battery is equivalent to a large "urban power bank", which can store solar photovoltaic power, wind power and other electrical energy, and release it when it is used. "As long as a few battery packs are connected in series, its power storage can supply the power demand of a city, and it can store 10 million kWh or 100 million kWh."
"Compared with lithium batteries, the biggest advantage of flow batteries is that they do not burn or explode." Fu Hongtao said that lithium batteries cannot be degraded after many years of use and will pollute the environment. Flow batteries not only have high safety performance, but also have large storage capacity. , Long life, and can be recycled
