4 FAQs about Cape Town Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Project

Why is South Africa a good country for vanadium redox flow batteries?

South Africa holds one of the world's richest and highest-quality vanadium reserves and is one of the few countries with established primary production capacity for the mineral. This gives the country a unique strategic advantage. Vanadium redox flow batteries and South Africa's green industrial opportunity (Image: iStock)

Who makes vanadium redox flow batteries?

investing US$7.5 million into European vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) manufacturer Enerox, which makes and sells VRFBs under the brand name Cellcube. Enerox has deployed around 23MWh of energy storage to date and is supplying a 1MW / 4MWh system to a solar mini-grid project at Vametco, one of Bushveld's mines.

What is a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB)?

The vanadium redox battery (VRB), also known as the vanadium flow battery (VFB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), is a type of rechargeable flow battery. It employs vanadium ions as charge carriers. Redox flow battery system rendering. Image credit: Invinity Energy Systems
