James Costello, CEO of EORA Energy, argues that long-duration vanadium redox flow battery storage is critical to Western Australia’s decarbonisation efforts, particularly for remote mining operations.
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.
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.

The development of global standards and specifications for the electrolyte used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is “crucial” for the technology’s prospects.
