In November 2020, Invinity Energy Systems revealed it would be pairing its vanadium flow battery technology with the European Marine Energy Centre’s (EMEC) tidal generation on the Orkney Islands.
Together, these are to be used to produce continuous green hydrogen, with Invinity’s business development director Ed Porter telling Current± that the nature of tidal – with around four cycles occurring per day – means that it is a “very good fit” with flow batteries.
“We are flat out on projects,” Porter said. “People have never been more interested in getting energy storage and renewables put onto their sites.”
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.
