A Western Australian government initiative to deploy the largest vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) project outside China is a “pivotal moment,” one technology provider has said.

The Western Australian government has launched the first stage of an Expression of Interest (EOI) process for a 50MW/500MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage system (VBESS) in Kalgoorlie.

The quarterly financial results of US non-lithium battery storage startups ESS Inc and Eos highlight their commercialisation strategies.

ESN Premium speaks to Matt Harper, president of flow battery company Invinity Energy Systems, about pursuing a competitive advantage in an emerging space.

Iron flow battery company ESS Tech Inc (ESS Inc) has warned of substantial doubts about its ability to survive another year.

ESN Premium grills Matt Harper of Invinity Energy Systems on the flow battery company’s new partnership with China’s UESNT.

As the US looks to establish reliable battery supply chains, TerraFlow Energy and ESS Tech look beyond lithium-ion for long-duration energy storage solutions.

Tom Sisto, CEO of US flow battery provider XL Batteries, writes that lithium-ion batteries’ dependence on a supply chain controlled almost completely by one country is a risk that could be avoided.

Two US-headquartered solar and sustainability-focused investors have launched GSSG Chikuden, a utility-scale battery storage developer, in Japan.

Invinity Energy Systems believes partnering with a Chinese materials and manufacturing company will enable significant cost reduction of its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology.
