   security (386 Downloads)



South Africa’s vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) value chain currently lies in
raw material output, electrolyte production, and locally manufactured balance of
plant components. However, there is potential for a more significant role to be
played along the value chain. To foster the growth of a domestic VRFB industry,
it is crucial to implement measures that support both demand and supply. The
increasing demand for electrification in Africa, and globally for long duration
storage, creates an opportunity for VRFBs to enhance energy supply. VRFBs
present a compelling commercial opportunity for use in storage due to their
safety, use of recyclable electrolytes, and extended cycle life, among other
advantages. This study examines the growth potential of a South African VRFB
value chain. The analysis is particularly relevant given the rapid expansion of
the global VRFB industry.The research explores the practicality of developing a
sustainable VRFB market and supply chain in South Africa, integrated with
renewable energy generation, while improving energy supply and security.
