And the audience goes wild! Last week CleanTechnica’s CEO Zachary Shahan hosted StorEn Technologies’ CEO John Davis for a live conversation about vanadium batteries and our audience was into it! We love seeing folks get excited about clean technology because, obviously, we do, too. Here’s the recorded conversation with John … [continued]
You’ve heard the hype around vanadium batteries, so who wants to learn more about them? We sure do! CleanTechnica CEO Zachary Shahan will sit down with StorEn Technologies CEO John Davis on February 23 to discuss all things vanadium! Here’s the registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/7216763259072/WN_89RvJe9DRuCY41vpu8UxZg We at CleanTechnica know that clean … [continued]
We just pulled down an article about vanadium flow batteries versus lithium-ion batteries for long-duration energy storage because Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded, “This article is wildly incorrect about lithium battery costs by a factor of 5 or more presently & 10X long-term.” However, that raised more questions than answers for me, and I now have some extra details from Elon regarding Tesla energy storage pricing, including information that I don’t think was previously public.
The energy storage market in the United States was up +46% in the third quarter of 2017. This growth represents a strong opportunity for vanadium flow batteries – which may begin to outpace lithium as early as 2018 – to support energy storage and grid modernization.
Vanadium flow batteries are a type of rechargeable battery in which the energy is stored chemically in a liquid electrolyte contained in two tanks, unlike conventional batteries that store their reactive materials within their cells. StorEn Technology is developing a new generation of vanadium flow batteries to meet growing marketing demand for cost-effective energy storage for residential, industrial, or utility needs.
