Vanadium: Powering the renewable energy revolution

ABS has issued a new technology qualification (NTQ) for a vanadium redox flow battery, moving ahead one of the first commercial applications of the little-known technology for maritime use.  Vanadium redox flow batteries store electrical energy in pairs

Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, reveals in its recently published research report that the global vanadium market is estimated to advance at a CAGR of 8.5% and reach US$ 105.4 billion by the end of 2033. Growing

The global vanadium ore market will grow from $2.78 billion in 2022 to $2.97 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the

Vanadium is an ultratrace element present in higher plants, animals, algae, and bacteria. In recent years, vanadium complexes have been studied to be considered as a representative of a new class of nonplatinum metal anticancer drugs. Nevertheless, the

The microalloying elements V, Nb and Ti are commonly used to improve the properties of HSLA steels. Of these three microalloying elements, the carbides and nitrides of V have the highest solubility, and this influences the steel types in which

The vanadium market is largely driven by steel consumption, with up to 92% sold as ferrovanadium (a mixture of iron and vanadium). This market is projected to grow by an average 1.4% a year between 2021 and 2050.

The rise of renewable energy has exposed a new problem: energy storage. Solar and wind can generate very cheap electricity, but they’re intermittent. For entire grids to run on renewables, enormous amounts of storage are needed to avoid

A big change seems on the way for the vanadium market, thanks to “mega scale energy storage” battery technology.  The current market is largely driven by steel consumption, with up to 92 per cent sold as ferrovanadium (a

Heading into 2022, experts were expecting vanadium demand to increase on battery segment attention. While most vanadium is used in China for steel applications, particularly the high-strength, low-alloy steel used to make construction rebar, the metal has a

Vanadium is a chemical element with the symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery-grey, ductile, and malleable transition metal. The element is found in minerals such as vanadinite, carnotite, and patronite, and is primarily

Vanadium steel is a steel alloy which contains small amounts of the element vanadium. Used in structural steels, vanadium steel is lighter, stronger, and more durable than other types of steel alloys. Vanadium steel is used in automotive manufacturing,

Vanadium is a metallic element with the atomic number 23 and the symbol V. On the periodic table of elements, it is found in Group 5, and in Period 4 between titanium and chromium. It is referred to as a “transition

Flow batteries operate on the ability of two different species of liquids to generate electricity when they flow adjacent to each other. The long duration energy storage angle follows naturally, because the tanks that store the liquids can be
