In 2023, the energy storage market faced challenges from lithium carbonate price volatility, competitive pressures, and diminished demand, resulting in installations below expectations. Despite this, with targets and policy support, the market is projected to grow to a 97GWh cumulative installation capacity by 2027, with a 49.3% annual growth rate. All-vanadium redox flow batteries, with their unique advantages including high cycle life and safety, emerge as a promising solution for the increasing demand for long-duration storage, offering a path toward stabilizing renewable energy integration.
Due to lithium carbonate price fluctuations, internal competition among manufacturers, weakened downstream demand, and delays, the overall energy storage installations in 2023 were weaker than expected. Based on energy storage installation targets and policy advancements, it is conservatively estimated that the cumulative installation capacity of new energy storage will reach 97GWh by 2027, with an annual compound growth rate of 49.3% from 2023 to 2027.
Ferro-Alloy Resources Ltd (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.
