Ferro-Alloy Resources accelerated investment from Vision Blue (Interview)

On 28 September of 2016, tornadoes raging through South Australia did enough damage to the electricity transmission grid there to plunge the entire state into darkness, with only offshore Kangaroo Island being spared . When it was over,

Vanadium flow batteries are gaining attention in the media, various industries, and even the general public for the many benefits over lithium-ion batteries.  Those benefits include longer life, very little degradation of performance over time, and a much

During the first six months of the year, vanadium pricing reacted strongly to the potential disruption of supply from Russia at the outset of the war, Willis Thomas of CRU Group told the Investing News Network. “While the

Flow batteries Compared to water and sand batteries, flow batteries are a more technically complicated renewable energy storage solution. They consist of two tanks of liquid electrolyte solution. In one tank, the solution is positively charged, and in the

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, have developed a ‘vanadium redox flow battery’ (VRFB) through a project funded by ONGC Energy Centre Trust and the Pudukkottai-based company High Energy Batteries. Redox flow batteries (RFB) promise to become

Scientists at the University of Buffalo experimenting with next-generation battery designs have demonstrated how magnetism might be used to bring a new level of precision to the way we monitor a battery’s state of charge. The breakthrough hinges

The prevailing lithium-ion battery is not suited for the longer-duration energy storage needed to back up renewable energy. Flow batteries could be the perfect complement. As a stifling heatwave spreads across Europe, solar panels all over the continent are busily

The use of vanadium in the battery energy storage sector is expected to experience disruptive growth this decade on the back of unprecedented vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) deployments. According to an independent analysis by market intelligence and

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries, (VRFB) have definitely brought Vanadium to the centre stage. It is a classified critical raw material in several countries around the world. Back in 2017, the European Commission identified and formally registered vanadium on

Steel alloys are mainly used in the steel industry – but battery and energy storage applications mean they will also play an increasingly important role in the energy transition, says Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK).   Stainless

A clean energy development this week in the San Diego area isn’t much to look at. Workers will deliver four white shipping containers that house battery storage systems. Soon after, workers will hook up the containers so they

A little-known metal used in steelmaking could emerge as a game-changer for battery technology, raising the prospect of an investment boom like the one that lifted rare earths out of obscurity last year. Here are some facts about

Vanadium is a metal that is not on the mind of most resources investors currently and one could say, “rightfully so”, as the price was in a constant downtrend since the short upward spike in 2019. However, in

Vanadium has been overlooked in the current mineral commodities cycle, and stands to gain market share as lithium risks pricing itself out as a battery material for the energy grid storage market, the Mines and Money conference heard
