Guidance Introduction Flow batteries (FBs) are a versatile electric energy storage solution offering significant potential in the energy transition from fossil to renewable energy in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve sustainable development goals. The vanadium flow battery (VFB) is the most common installed FB.
However, announcements by a few known vendors alone simultaneously indicate that 2.5 GW of flow batteries can already be installed by 2027. This means that global flow battery capacity has the potential to be much higher by 2030, especially with further support from policymakers.
2. Flow battery target: 20 GW and 200 GWh worldwide by 2030 Flow batteries represent approximately 3-5% of the LDES market today, while the largest installed flow battery has 100 MW and 400 MWh of storage capacity. Based on this figure, 8 GW of flow batteries are projected to be installed globally by 2030 without additional policy support.
A transition from fossil to renewable energy requires the development of sustainable electric energy storage systems capable to accommodate an increasing amount of energy, at larger power and for a longer time. Flow batteries are seen as one promising technology to face this challenge.
Flow batteries are seen as one promising technology to face this challenge. As different innovations in this field of technology are still under development, reproducible, comparable and verifiable life cycle assessment studies are crucial to providing clear evidence on the sustainability of different flow battery systems.
In fact, flow batteries could be more competitive than other solutions such as lithium-ion only in the case of renewable energy sources predominant in the energy mix, given their lower round-trip efficiency and having as a point of strength the FBs low impact in the cradle to gate phase and easiness to recycle materials.
