Redox Flow Battery technology

Redox Flow Battery technology priced for mass adoption

Market opportunity:

Energy storage

  • US$1.4bn pa
  • The energy storage market is set to reach an annual installation size of 40 GW in the near term. 
  • Current flow battery technologies represent a niche application of around 10% within this sector. This would be the equivalent to annual sales of 160,000 units of the typical 25 KWH system commonly offered by current manufacturers.

Our advantage:

Prototype ready

Technical:

  • electrolytes are stable, non-toxic, non-flammable, simple to produce, inexpensive, & recyclable. Do not generate colloids, gels or suspensions
  • does not require V, Br, Cr, Polysulfates
  • indefinite electrolyte service life
  • stable operating characteristics
  • suitable for extreme temperatures
  • permselective membrane has a favourable low electrical resistance and high mechanical resistance
  • energy density 2 – 3x higher than the leading flow battery
  • modular design – 10kW to >10MW

Commercial:

  • lowest cost in the industry (<US$80/KWh vs conventional batteries at US$250/KWh, lithium-ion >US$400/KWh, existing RFB >US$350/Kwh)
  • electrolyte and membrane life enhances full lifecyle cost
  • modular design improves maintenance and product life
  • no risk of raw materials depletion
  • proprietary permselective membrane costs a fraction of Nafion membranes used by other flow batteries
