Is vanadium redox chemistry a good choice for a battery?
While the battery architecture can host many different redox chemistries, the vanadium RFB (VRFB) represents the current state-of-the-art due to its favorable combination of performance and longevity. However, the relatively high and volatile price of vanadium has hindered VRFB financing and deployment opportunities.
Why are vanadium flow batteries more popular in 2040?
The early commercialisation of vanadium flow batteries results in 2.5 times more demand for vanadium compared to the base case in 2030 and 50% more demand in 2040. As a result of lower market shares for NMC chemistries, demand for nickel, cobalt and manganese are about 20% lower in 2040 compared to the base case.
Why is the vanadium market so volatile?
We found that the vast majority of vanadium is produced as a co-/by-product in a highly concentrated supply chain, which helps explain the extreme volatility in supply and price witnessed in the vanadium market. These factors also cause concern for the upper bound of the rates at which annual supply can feasibly grow.
