Delivering reliable, long-duration renewable energy storage with vanadium flow batteries
The demand for medium-to-long duration electricity storage is increasing in tandem with the expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources.
Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) offer a robust solution for extended energy storage requirements, supporting grid-scale, industrial, mining, and off-grid clients to lower energy expenses and fulfil their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.

Benefits of VFBs
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VFBs) offer several advantages:
- Safe, stable electrolyte chemistry with no fire risk
- Negligible battery degradation means 20+ year battery warranties with unlimited charge/discharge cycles and no restrictions on depth of discharge
- Strong asset value retention — vanadium electrolyte maintains value and can be reused or sold, providing significant return at end of battery use instead of typical losses from decommissioning electricity assets
- Flexible storage duration, with capacity increased by adding electrolyte to extend energy storage time
