Is the door opening for vanadium? About Vionx Energy who recently signed a MOU with Largo Resources that may open the door for large scale Vanadium use in batteries.
Though Vanadium Redox Flow (VRF) has already been proven through decades of use in numerous installations worldwide, United Technologies Corporation (UTC) has pioneered a breakthrough technology improvement to build a flow battery that delivers 2 times the power at a cost and reliability that was never before possible. Vionx Energy’s resulting Vanadium Flow battery brings together an 6-10 hour runtime with optimized storage capacity and long-term power output that’s highly competitive. And all at the lowest lifetime cost of ownership of any grid-scale battery.
Led by energy storage industry veterans, with partner companies who have been at the forefront of technological innovation for over a century, Vionx Energy itself has also been built to last. In the coming years, we will continue to work with our utility, corporate, military, and government customers to build storage systems—and relationships—that stand the test of time.
