Flow Battery placements
First announcement of a flow battery "win" in quite a while: https://www.energy-storage.news/lockheed-martin-putting-long-duration-flow-battery-at-us-armys-fort-carson/
The lithium shortage that I hope will help drive flow battery demand is front and center this morning as two articles address the issue:

Looks like Lockheed Martin flow batteries are using their own secret recipe electrolyte,it's not Vanadium,so more competition to deal with. https://www.energy-storage.news/lockheed-martin-putting-long-duration-flow-battery-at-us-armys-fort-carson/

Any flow battery placement clearly is a positive as it helps improve awareness and demonstrates the fact that flow batteries are a suitable alternative to Li-ion. The more flow battery placements the better for all companies involved. It doesn't make sense to instill petty hostility between flow battery companies as they are all in the same boat.
