Elon heard about the ease by which Vanadium in VRFBs can be recycled.

Company to renamed BMX.

BOGOF buying opportunity for feral tiggers?

Not so good for the Eeyores of this world!

The problem is Lithium technology is still improving rapidly (if CATL's claims are to be taken at face value).

Interesting to see ViB quietly growing in S Korea with a claimed 10 Mwh of completed projects and a planned "Gigafactory" within 2 years.

I've never heard of flaring as a source of fly ash, it is my understanding that vanadium, nickel etc is sourced from HOFA as a waste product of oil powered electricity generation.

Germany, through its KfW development bank, will on Friday sign an agreement to lend South Africa €500 million (R10 billion) at below commercial market rates to help it transition away from the use of coal-fired electricity.

...The researchers considered three scenarios on how the country’s energy sector may develop until 2040.

The Economic Transition Scenario: The lowest cost route would see a massive expansion of solar power capacity to 65 gigawatts by 2040, with wind adding 21 gigawatts and battery storage 31 gigawatts. Five gigawatts of gas-fired power would be built and by 2040 65% of energy would come from renewables compared to 8% in 2021.

Coal Extension Scenario: Coal would account for 58% of generation in 2030, from more than 80% today, and 29% in 2040. By that date there would be 79 gigawatts of wind and solar.

Clean Power Scenario: This would take South Africa closest to its target of reaching so-called net zero emissions by 2050. There would be 13 gigawatts of gas or hydrogen-fired power and 105 gigawatts of wind, solar and batteries by that date.

Not exactly a smooth roll out - originally planned for July, postponed to October now further postponed to November!
