International Vanadium Industry

AVL signed a new MOU with V-Flow Tech Pte Ltd

This week, the company also  Singapore-based vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) manufacturer, V-Flow Tech Pte Ltd which provides opportunities relating to VRFBs and includes development of: Vanadium products (V2O5) offtake to V-Flow in Singapore to support global battery sales; Vanadium electrolyte manufacture and supply in Australia for V-Flow VRFBs; Sales agreement with AVL’s 100%-owned subsidiary VSUN Energy for VRFB sales in Australia; and VRFB service and maintenance.

The MOU is non-binding and for a term of two years with an option to renew for a further 12 months by agreement in writing, with a 30-day notice period on either side for termination.

Australian Vanadium signed an MOU with ATCO Australia for the supply of green hydrogen

Recently, Australian Vanadium signed an MOU with ATCO Australia for the supply of green hydrogen for the company’s planned processing plant near Geraldton.

ATCO is one of seven proponents shortlisted by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) under the Renewable Hydrogen Deployment Round to develop a project for the commercial-scale production of hydrogen gas in Australia.

The MOU provides a basis for negotiations to establish a binding offtake agreement, with the intention for ATCO to supply 10% of the total gas requirements with green hydrogen.

Managing director Vincent Algar said: “Working with a company of ATCO’s calibre will enable AVL to use green hydrogen in the natural gas supply, thereby reducing our carbon footprint.

“We are excited to be part of creating local industrial consumption markets for an emerging hydrogen industry in Western Australia.”

Australian Vanadium Industry  Signed MOU of 2000 Tons of V2O5 with American Manufacturers

Australia's vanadium industry has signed a binding memorandum of understanding with the chemical producer United States vanadium on future vanadium from the vanadium project of Western Australian miners.

According to a report submitted on 2 December, the parties agreed to undertake framework negotiations on the annual supply of 2000 tons of vanadium pentoxide, which represents 20 per cent of the proposed annual production of the project.

Fire Department in Southern California deployed an all-vanadium liquid-flow battery storage system

Recently, Invinity Energy Systems announced that the company has deployed an all-vanadium liquid-flow battery energy storage system at the Soboba Fire Department in Southern California to protect emergency services and local community power supply from grid disruptions caused by wildfires.

The energy storage system is 0.5 MWh, delivered by the Invinity to the largest non-profit solar installation in the United States GRID, working with photovoltaic power generation to ensure uninterrupted power supply to significantly improve the energy recovery capacity of the Soboba Fire Department.

Fire Department is an important part of the Soboba community. Some tribal residents, who live in areas identified by the California Public Utilities Commission as a “level 3 extreme” threat zone, have experienced several fires-related blackouts over the past two years. During the mountain fire, the Soboba Fire Department is the accident command center and emergency shelter, as well as the distribution point of food, equipment and supplies, so achieving uninterrupted power supply is essential for community recovery.

As a demonstration of how to effectively improve energy security on a clean, low-cost and decentralized basis in the state, GRID will combine 0.5 MWh of all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage cells with 50 kW of photovoltaic power generation to provide local continuous backup power for at least 10 hours. Additional electricity generated during the day or at night can also be used "on demand .
