6 FAQs about [Vanadium battery investment risk research]
Can vanadium flow batteries decarbonize the power sector?
Vanadium flow batteries show technical promise for decarbonizing the power sector. High and volatile vanadium prices limit deployment of vanadium flow batteries. Vanadium is globally abundant but in low grades, hindering economic extraction. Vanadium's supply is highly concentrated as co-/by-product production.
Are vanadium redox flow batteries safe?
Safety is becoming more important for companies deploying large batteries. The intrinsic non-flammability of the water-based chemistry of vanadium redox flow batteries makes them ideal for this growing trend, especially in densely populated areas where the safety risk from fire and smoke is greatest.
Why are vanadium batteries so expensive?
Vanadium makes up a significantly higher percentage of the overall system cost compared with any single metal in other battery technologies and in addition to large fluctuations in price historically, its supply chain is less developed and can be more constrained than that of materials used in other battery technologies.
Is vanadium a risk to a supply chain?
Frequent price fluctuations of certain components or materials within a life cycle are also problematic. Our analysis shows a price increase of vanadium of 50% results in higher risks for a similar supply chain, even though the total share of vanadium in the battery costs is only around 7%.
Why is vanadium a problem?
High and volatile vanadium prices limit deployment of vanadium flow batteries. Vanadium is globally abundant but in low grades, hindering economic extraction. Vanadium's supply is highly concentrated as co-/by-product production. Opportunities for growth of vanadium supply lie in principal and secondary streams.
Will flow battery suppliers compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply?
Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it’s possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
