U.S. Vanadium produces and sells a range of specialty vanadium chemicals, including the highest-purity vanadium pentoxide (“V 2 O 5 “) in the world and ultra-high-purity electrolyte for vanadium flow batteries from its flagship facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas USA.
“That’s great news for vanadium flow batteries, because they are really great and efficient for long-duration. Unlike lithium-ion, in a vanadium flow battery, the energy component where you store the electricity in the electrolyte is distinct from the power unit.

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years, equal to nearly 33GWh a year of deployments by 2030, according to new forecasting. Vanadium industry trade group Vanitec has commissioned Guidehouse Insights to undertake independent analysis of the VRFB energy storage sector.
VanadiumCorp Resource Inc (TSX-V:VRB) told investors that the construction of its first facility for the manufacturing of vanadium electrolytes is on track, with production set to kick off in the first quarter of 2024.
As we noted in an article last year for the journal PV Tech Power, there are however only three primary vanadium producers in the world, with the majority of vanadium coming from secondary sources as a byproduct of steel production.
The country’s vanadium production is mainly attributed to Largo Resources, which considers to be the sole pure-play producer of the silver-gray metal. The Maracas Menchen vanadium project, which the company owns, is the highest-grade vanadium mine globally. South Africa South Africa’s output of vanadium has been increasing in the last few years.
