The vanadium flow battery (VFB) can make a significant contribution to energy system transformation, as this type of battery is very well suited for stationary energy storage on an industrial scale (Arenas et al., 2017 ). The concept of the VFB allows conver electrical energy into chemical energy at high efficiencies.
In the pursuit of sustainable and reliable energy storage solutions, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries offer a compelling combination of safety, longevity, and recyclability - key attributes of any truly environmentally friendly and long-duration energy storage technology.
Finally, they have a long service life, easily reaching up to 20,000 cycles with current commercial electrolytes, which means ten to twenty years of operation, depending on the typology of usage. The following Fig. 1 visualizes the scheme of a common FB system. Fig. 1. Scheme of a flow battery system.
However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.
A transition from fossil to renewable energy requires the development of sustainable electric energy storage systems capable to accommodate an increasing amount of energy, at larger power and for a longer time. Flow batteries are seen as one promising technology to face this challenge.
It is widely anticipated that the vanadium electrolyte may be reused in several life cycles. Thus, a fair allocation of the primary electrolyte's emissions over the life cycles is desirable. In this work, emissions of primary vanadium electrolyte are equally divided over the primary and subsequent reuse life cycles.
