Further proof of a new industry on the rise ... and potential partnerships!VRB Energy's 100MW project in Hubei is among a growing number of 100MW flow battery projects being prioritized in China as part of its national energy storage policy and accelerated infrastructure investment in support of post-Covid economic growth. In addition, provinces from Xinjiang to Shandong are now requiring minimums of 5% to 20% energy storage to be installed with new solar and wind power development.Beyond China, the company has stated it is in discussions with numerous developers and utilities in the U.S., Australia and South Africa for 100MW-class PV+VRB projects. Developers and utilities are attracted to the low levelized cost of energy (LCOE) that VRB-ESS deliver – (Vanadium Redox Flow-Energy Storage Solution) with no cycle limits and no degradation of the vanadium electrolyte they are an ideal fit for the "heavy duty" daily cycling required for solar and wind integration to utility grids.Https://tinyurl.com/87bww9rt

dp1umb ... you've touched on a commonly asked issue. What about other technology's? It's a technical issue that really needs properly researching to understand the complete answer to it. But also it ignores the fact that there is no way any one or two storage solutions can come close to scratching the global demand for energy storage, and also that there are many different types of storage demand that require different solutions. Lithium-Ion is the classic one, fine for applications such as and EV's and ok for short duration grid applications (if they can stop it exploding). VRFB's are for long duration and heavy lifting jobs. That is where they come into their own. Also there is no substitute for its use in the steel industry which is going to take off on an equally massive scale. What a hedge to have ... two entirely different roles to fulfil regardless of wider global economic fluctuations!Iron- air is Ok for some very limited application but having nowhere near the efficiency of VRFB they are not a viable competitor in the heavy lifting stakes. It IS a complex technical issue, there is no doubt about that and which is why the II's don't yet understand it.The one glaringly obvious single thing to bear in mind about Vanadium. Its 100% unique as being the only metal on the planet that can be used as an electrolyte to store energy, that doesn't degrade, the REAL BIG reason being, it doesn't come into contact with any other substance! It does not even need air! It doesn't need a catalyst to do what it does. It flows back and forth in its tanks without coming into contact with anything else, not even air! Air has a moisture content. Iron-air use energy from the rusting action of iron and air to store energy, but its not an efficient process and it ultimately also causes complete degradation. Meaning replacement! Cheap to initially produce and that maybe usefully leveraged for some limited applications .. but has severe other drawbacks. You certainly won't see China putting in any new huge iron-air battery installations as they are now with VRFB's.This is the technical answer:The disadvantage of iron-air batteries: they have an efficiency of less than 50 percent. This is partly due to hydrogen evolution at the iron electrode and partly to the high overvoltage at the air electrode. Due to flooding and catalyst poisoning, the stability of the air electrode is also not yet sufficient for use as a stationary storage device in the context of regeneratively generated energy.Although research to improve the iron- air process is continuing, it will never come close to the single metal 80-85% efficiency of Vanadium. And that in a nutshell is the drawback of ALL other competitors. Vanadium is on its own because its a simple process, no catalyst or reaction processing required, it doesn't need anything else. The Americans are forever throwing big bucks at research and trials for other battery techs, vanadium is light years in front of all of them in the 'proven it works' stakes, it has the history and it has the experience. It is NOT a new technology, although its been vastly researched and improved and is still being improved. It's the explosion of the renewable energy industry that's provided its recently acquired long duration heavy lifting spotlight! Something that till now supreme Lithium-ion champion cannot do ... and the world is waking up to the fact that long duration energy storage is very badly needed. But the rich kids like Bill Gates simply do not like the fact that Uncle Sam doesn't have a Vanadium industry and its estimated to take about 3-4 years and around $350 million to establish a mine and processing plant. They are trying but It's years away from becoming self sufficient to enable it to meet its own domestic needs. The USA is BMN's biggest customer for its steel industry. Given the recently announced $trillion expansion plan, its vanadium requirements are about to explode! Vanadium has been put on the USA critical substance list as being a vital commodity for its economy and defensive security. Yet it one of the planets most abundant metals and it's an open cast mine operation.China is BMN's second biggest customer, it cannot meet its own needs so no use the USA looking in that direction. The only other supplier is Largo's mine in Brazil. That mine only has an estimated 6 years production left it in it. Largo have are just starting up on the VRFB and electrolyte route but are estimated to about two years behind BMN in the energy storage space.

Dontay what about the iron/air batteries ?

[dontay] 27/8/2021 14:02

dp1umb, just to give clarification and a wee bit more background to this investment opportunity: If you need any more info to help with any research 'direction' for this industry please ask. 1.8MWh Invinity Flow Battery to Combine with Tidal to Create Green HydrogenGreen hydrogen' at European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney.Exciting world-first for Vanadium Flow Battery (VFB) technology 9 November, 2020 (This projects is now nearing completion)A world-first project will combine flow battery technology with tidal power to produce continuous green hydrogen.The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, Scotland will deploy an Invinity Energy Systems 1.8 MWh flow battery at EMEC's tidal energy test site on the island of Eday.This unique combination of tidal power and flow batteries will be used to power EMEC's hydrogen production plant, demonstrating continuous hydrogen production from variable renewable generation."We are delighted to support this world-first innovative energy systems project in Orkney, with £1.8 million of funding from the Scottish Government. The demonstration of hydrogen and systems integration with renewables will be a key part of our energy transition pathways and we look forward to watching the progress of this exciting and pioneering project, building on the strong track record of Orkney and EMEC, in particular, in demonstrating hydrogen and integrated energy systems."– Scotland's Energy Minister, Paul Wheelhouse MSP The commercialisation of green hydrogen is an essential step toward a 100% renewable future. Green hydrogen is created and consumed without carbon emissions and can replace fossil fuels in the energy mix, supporting the decarbonisation of heavy industry and transport sectors. The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult estimate that developing a green hydrogen industry could create 120,000 jobs and deliver £320 bn to the UK economy by 2050.Funded by the Scottish Government, via Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Invinity's modular flow battery system will be assembled at the company's manufacturing facility in Bathgate, West Lothian and consist of eight Invinity VS3 battery modules linked together into a single system. The project is expected to go live next year.Invinity's vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a form of heavy duty, stationary energy storage which are deployed in high-utilisation, industrial applications. They provide hours of continuous power, one or more times per day, through decades of service. This makes them the perfect candidate for regulating the generation of tidal energy, an application where more conventional lithium-ion batteries would degrade and eventually wear out.According to EMEC Managing Director, Neil Kermode, "Following a technical review looking at how to improve the efficiencies of the electrolyser we assessed that flow batteries would be the best fit for the energy system. As flow batteries store electrical charge in a liquid rather than a solid, they can provide industrial quantities of power for a sustained period, can deeply discharge without damaging itself, as well as stand fully charged for extended periods without losing charge. These are all necessary qualities to integrate battery technology with the renewable power generation and hydrogen production process"Tidal generation is predictable yet variable, with two high and two low tides occurring each day. This is an extremely heavy cycling application, requiring up to four cycles per day, compared to solar coupled energy storage projects which typically require just one charge and discharge each day."EMEC's core purpose is to demonstrate technologies in new and inspired ways to decarbonise our energy system. This is the first time that a flow battery will have been coupled with tidal energy and hydrogen production, and will support the development of the innovative energy storage solution being developed in the Interreg NWE ITEG project."– Neil Kermode, Managing Director at EMEC At EMEC's site, the system will store electricity generated by tidal turbines during high power periods, and discharge it during low power periods. This will 'smooth' tidal generation to create continuous, on-demand electricity to turn into hydrogen using EMEC's 670 kW hydrogen electrolyser. This will optimise hydrogen production at the site to enable tonnes of green hydrogen generation each year."We are thrilled to be part of this Scottish success story, showcasing the best of clean energy technology, backed by Scottish Government, designed and assembled in West Lothian by highly qualified Scottish engineers and installed in the Orkney Islands."This project is truly groundbreaking. Because of their inherent variability, all renewable energy sources – including wind, solar and tidal – have difficulty providing the consistent power that industrial processes like electrolysis need to operate most effectively. Including energy storage in a comprehensive renewables-to-hydrogen system bridges that gap, providing a path to accelerated commercialisation of future green hydrogen projects."Vanadium flow batteries are the perfect partner for tidal power, continually absorbing then dispatching 4 or more hours of continuous power, multiple times per day, over decades of service – a duty cycle that would rapidly degrade lithium batteries. Invinity eagerly anticipates working with EMEC to validate both their vision, and our VFB's unique fit, for this revolutionary application."Https://invinity.com/flow_battery_plus_tidal_green_hydrogen_orkney/

May well be some regulatory hurdles to get over before this is concluded. I took the view that 164p now is better than 165p in a number of months time. I don’t see how another bid can be successful with PMI holding circa 30% of shares but good luck to anyone that holds on.

... and coming soon (Nov '21) to a reservation near you. There are several other USA projects also under way! Https://www.enlit-europe.com/news-new-energy-landscape/storage-faces-its-own-transitionInvinity is currently delivering a vanadium flow battery to a fire station run by the Soboba Band of Luisen?o Indians in Southern California. The battery will help mitigate the impact of grid outages caused by wildfires on emergency services and the local community.The fire station is a vital part of the Soboba community. Tribal residents live in a district identified by the California Public Utilities Commission as a 'Tier 3 – Extreme' threat area and have experienced multiple outages linked to wildfires over the last two years.During wildfires, the Soboba fire station serves as the incident command centre and emergency shelter as well as the point of distribution for food, equipment and supplies - making uninterrupted power vital for community resiliency.The number of blackouts across California is expected to increase as preemptive Public Safety Power Shutoff events become more common, so the Soboba Band is planning on expanding services at the fire station site by building a medical center and community building, along with additional battery backup and microgrid systems for those facilities.This project demonstrates that energy storage can transform renewable energy into a resource that the community can count on to protect them from the impacts of climate change.To enable a just transition we need to take urgent action to reshape global energy markets in a fair and accessible way.With energy storage deployment in emerging markets expected to increase globally by over 40% each year until 2025, the industry must deliver more sustainable, durable and cost- effective alternative solutions.Energy storage systems are thus a key component of a truly renewable-powered future

DavROs ... ha, ha! Nah not really, most of its a copy and paste job. I'm not on a mission so won't be going much further in trying to bring this to some folks attention. I will say though I've only scratched the surface and I also advice researching thiHttps://www.portliner.nl/technology And this: Https://www.maritime-executive.com/editorials/revisiting-vanadium-flow-batteries-for-ship-propulsionAnd realise the the huge implications and opportunities that are rising for this technology.And just to back up that this is moving at lightning speed and anyone wanting to jump on now will be getting on, imo, the bottom rung of the ladder leading to the next Tesla ... here is today's news from Scotland where IES is getting heavily, also involved in an innovative Green Hydrogen project on Orkney. Invinity Energy Systems PLC26 August 2021MSP visits Invinity's Scottish manufacturing facilityFiona Hyslop, MSP, commends Invinity as flow batteries play growing role in global energy transition.Invinity Energy Systems (LSE:IES), a leading global manufacturer of flow batteries, was pleased to welcome Fiona Hyslop, MSP for Linlithgow Constituency and deputy convener of the Net Zero Scottish Parliament Committee who visited the Company's Bathgate manufacturing facility yesterday.Invinity manufactures utility-grade energy storage systems which utilise patented Vanadium Flow Battery (or "VFB") technology, one of the leading alternatives to lithium-ion battery technology, to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy globally. To date, the Company has over 25 megawatt-hours (MWh) of its batteries installed or under contract for delivery at more than 40 sites worldwide, including pioneering projects in Scotland, England, the USA and Australia which are currently under construction.In line with growing demand for its products, the Company has more than doubled its global manufacturing capacity since the beginning of the year, utilising growth capital raised in late 2020 to expand its global manufacturing facilities, including its factory in Bathgate, West Lothian.During the visit, the Company was commended by Ms. Hyslop for its role in enabling the global shift to renewable energy. Invinity's Bathgate site plays a crucial role in assembling the battery systems for export to customers around the world and as part of its expansion, the Company has created more than 25 new green jobs in the West Lothian area, taking advantage of the high-quality pool of labour present in the region. The Company's staff includes many former oil and gas sector workers applying their skills to develop Invinity's clean energy technology, supporting a burgeoning renewable energy economy in Scotland.Renewable energy, and the energy storage required to deliver it on demand, will be a critical issue for national Governments attending the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow this November. The meeting is just a short distance from Invinity's Bathgate factory, emphasizing how cutting edge policy and manufacturing for the global clean energy transition can be developed together.Fiona Hyslop, Member of Scottish Parliament (SNP) said: "I was very impressed by my visit to the Invinity Energy facility. The progress of the company over recent years has created local job opportunities and grown new skills in the renewable energy industry which are essential to tackle the climate crisis and support our economic recovery from the pandemic."The Scottish Government aims to have 50% of our energy produced from renewable energy sources by 2030 and it is technology like this that will enable us to create a reliable energy system, whilst developing vital skills and jobs to lead the international roll out of clean technology."As global leaders attend the COP26 conference in Glasgow, it is exciting to see this facility in my constituency export innovative energy technology to support renewable energy around the world."Despite having one of the greenest grids in the world, Scotland's energy grid is also one of the most constrained. UK wind power generation exceeded the energy grid's ability to effectively absorb and distribute that power over 75% of days last year, meaning 3.6 terawatt-hours of clean energy (just over 1% of total UK demand) was wasted.Network constraints are increasingly limiting how much additional renewable capacity can be installed across Scotland; those constraints can be alleviated by deploying utility-grade energy storage assets, meaning Scotland can maintain the current rate of renewable capacity growth in the years to come. The installation of VFBs, such as those manufactured in Scotland by Invinity, can help to manage these constraints, enabling the development of additional renewable energy generation to accelerate Scotland's progress towards Net Zero.Larry Zulch, CEO, Invinity Energy Systems said: "The past 18 months have been transformational for Invinity as we successfully established our ability to produce the first flow battery shipping globally as a standardized, factory-built product."The team at our Bathgate facility has been essential to the progress we've made as a company, a testament to their skills and commitment. Our expanding presence in Bathgate creates new jobs, supports the local economy and helps accelerate the national push towards green energy and green skills."Taking low-cost, low-carbon, but fundamentally intermittent energy and making it dispatchable through the use of large-scale, utility-grade energy storage is vital to achieving net-zero by 2050. We're looking forward to continuing to expand our operational footprint in Scotland and internationally as flow batteries increasingly become recognised as a leading solution to meeting aggressive climate targets."

dp1umb. Aside from the fact that reading tea leaves doesn't work for aim listed companies. Never has and never will, the investment dynamics are totally different, neither the professional investment institutions or the general public including pi's have caught up with this story yet. Mention vanadium even to fund managers and they haven't a clue what it is. They do not understand the complexities of what it's about or the scale of what's proposed. It's very much under the II's radar and BMN's CEO has openly refused them a way in via a fund raising placing exercise. II's are not interested if they cannot get their pound of flesh through a placing ...but they will soon be forced to sit up and take notice. Although even a modicum of research shows renewable energy has shot right to the very top of the global agenda in recent months and a few DO realise that energy storage is the vital key that unlocks its vast potential ... VERY few have realised that there is now a new kid on the block which solves the Long Duration requirements (6,8,10,12, hours) that Lithium-ion simply cannot and never will be able to do. 4 hours is there max and the have other serious restrictions on what they can do. Research the differences and it soon come to light what Lithium-ion limitations are, some very serious indeed. Also a VRFB can be 100% charged and 100% discharged (and left completely discharged!) from several sources (grid,solar,wind twice a day for over 25 years and even then, with virtually zero deterioration, vanadium based electrolyte can be recycled and used again! In other words it's a completely circular 'green' holy grail economic solution! Unlike Lithium- Ion and all other competing technologies ... NO of the end of life vast AND costly recycling plants required. That is of huge importance!All tremendous solutions that Lithium-ion cannot come anywhere near providing. Unlike Lithium-ion vanadium has another vital attribute, it doesn't explode! Research the fire risk and huge dangers that Lithium-ion grid scale solutions that is slowly being realised all across the globe. From Arizona to Australia to China to Liverpool in the UK ... it is becoming realised that they are lethal potential bombs that cannot be extinguished ... the fall out and publicity is gathering pace is going to be every bit as huge as the Grenfell fiasco! Only two weeks ago Australia has had to learn a deadly lesson about the dangers of Lithium-ion batteries. The lifetime ability of vanadium based electrolyte has recently opened up the vast potential for leasing the electrolyte which accounts for up c.40% of the cost of a VRFB. (which strips out and spreads the majority of the up front costs which of course is a massive incentive for customers and a very lucrative on-going income!!) This subject is itself worthy of researching properly to understand the huge implications. It alone is going to be an enormous incentive for industrial clients and is at the heart and is the basis for the formation of the recent BMN supply leasing partnership with IES and its projects. All part of the vertically integrated business plan that BMN is building. VRFB)s are going to worth many times the worth of the steel,industry! BMN mine the stuff, supply the USA, China and European steel industries and will also now turn it into electrolyte once the new chemical plant is completed. They will lease or sell it to IES clients, Enerox clients and any other 3rd party installers, they have invested together with a consortium in a $30 million Enerox production expansion which is currently nearing completion, they also have plans for them to build a battery assembly facility in SA and have supply and lease agreements already in place ready for lift off.Mustang Energy, funded in the main Acacia Resources (a major BMN shareholder) our currently in an rto process concerning Enerox. That is why it is currently suspended for share trading. Research is required just for that, it's all part and parcel of another one of BMN's building block being put in place! China is in the lead currently and is now going big time for Energy storage. The USA market is huge and recent announcements show its going to be following closely behind. HTtps://t.m.china.org.cn/convert/c_wUd1WTn7.htmlXI'AN, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- China has released a slew of policies to turbocharge the energy storage industry, which insiders believe will bring huge opportunities to enterprises in the country.Power generation firms are encouraged to build energy storage facilities and improve their capability to shift peak loads, according to a notice co-released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA).Hua Yin Technology, one of the pioneering companies in China's flow battery industry, detected an opportunity soon after the policy was unveiled."In recent years, the power storing business has become the main engine driving the company's revenue growth," said Fu Hongtao, vice president of the firm based in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.Dedicated to the vanadium industrial chain, Hua Yin Technology entered the vanadium flow battery market in 2016, and the company's electrolyte production line now has an output value of 1.6 billion yuan (about 247 million U.S. dollars).Fu said the industry is set to make further progress as an increasing proportion of clean power sources are used across China.Data shows that China has seen leapfrog growth in its new energy generation capacity, as the newly added installed volume hit 119.87 million kilowatts in 2020, accounting for 63 percent of the nationwide total.But the steady growth of installed capacity has put a strain on the country's power system due to insufficient regulation capabilities."Renewable energy sources including solar and wind are intermittent and volatile," said He Gang, a professor at the Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), noting that the grid will see mounting pressure as electricity is used in a continuous manner.To realize the transition to a new type of power system with new energy as the main body, He underscored that new types of power storage will play an increasingly important role.New types of energy storage technologies are, with the exception of pumped storage, those that have power as their main output form. In late July, the NDRC and the NEA released a plan for the blueprint of the industry.According to the plan, the country's total installed capacity for new types of power storing is expected to surpass 30 million kilowatts in 2025, about 10 times its present level.It is the first time that China has set a national installed capacity goal in the sector," said NEA official Liu Yafang, adding that the policy is not just about scale but puts forward other requirements including technology and industry standards to realize high-quality development.More reading.Https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/958594/today-s-market-view---altus-strategies-bhp-empire-metals-oriole-resources-petra-diamonds-rambler-metals-and-mining-and-more-958594.htmlCalifornia seeks to boost solar and wind capacity, with an additional 2.5GW of battery storage plannedThe California Independent System Operator (CAISO) region aims to ramp up solar and wind capacity this year to meet 50% renewable energy target by 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.The CAISO plans to add a further 1.6GW of utility-scale solar capacity alongside 0.4GW of onshore wind turbine capacity by 2022.The region also aims to build 2.5GW of additional battery storage capacity, with the batteries charged using renewable power generation.The state is currently struggling to use purely renewables as an energy source with scorching heatwaves causing air conditioning units to require the utilisation of fossil fuels(Spangle is BMN's NOMAD)An example of doing your own proper research. .... 5 Containers landing in Norfolk USA tomorrow with estimated value of $3.89 million.Total estimated for August deliveries so far is $9.42 million96,010kg of Nitrovan just landedHttps://importkey.com/search/Bushveld(Nitrovan is the high purity version of Vanadium that BMN export to the states.
