The coronavirus pandemic has hurt commodities across the board, and vanadium is no exception.
But John Meyer of SP Angel believes that as more governments commit to renewable energy post-COVID-19, vanadium demand could see a boost in the coming years.
The battery metal is key in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), which have the ability to store extensive amounts of energy. Meyer said that rising ferrovanadium prices combined with new orders for VRFBs should create new investor interest as stimulus projects drive demand.
Ferro-Alloy Resources Limited (LON:FAR) is developing the giant Balasausqandiq vanadium deposit in Kyzylordinskaya oblast of southern Kazakhstan. The ore at this deposit is unlike that of nearly all other primary vanadium deposits and is capable of being treated by a much lower cost process.
