After commissioning energy consultancy Customised Energy Solution (CES) to determine the potential for a commercial vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) value chain in South Africa, the Localisation Support Fund (LSF) is confident that this technology offers significant advantages and can cater for long-duration energy storage (LDES) demand.
South Africa holds vast vanadium resources with many deposits grading more than 1.5% vanadium pentoxide, which is considered high-grade by international standards.
