German Power Vanadium-Energiespeicher
Im Bereich der erneuerbaren Energien sind wir stolz darauf, innovative und skalierbare Lösungen für die Energiespeicherung in Haushalten und Unternehmen anzubieten. Unsere flexiblen Mikronetze bieten nicht nur eine zuverlässige Energiequelle, sondern auch die Möglichkeit, die Energieversorgung unabhängig vom zentralen Netz zu gestalten.
Ob für ländliche Gebiete, abgelegene Standorte oder urbane Umgebungen – mit unseren Lösungen sind Sie für die Zukunft der Energieversorgung bestens gerüstet. Unsere Produkte zeichnen sich durch ihre Effizienz, Langlebigkeit und die einfache Integration in bestehende Systeme aus.
Während Europa erst am Anfang steht, sind Energiespeicher in China und Australien hipp. Dort werden immer mehr Projekte gestartet. Neben Lithium spielt dabei Vanadium eine immer wichtigere Rolle.
How much vanadium will Germany need in 2050?
Assuming a need of vanadium of 5,500 t/GWh, in 2050 Germany would demand to the vanadium market something between 65 kt (in case of a market share of 10% of VRFBs at the energy storage market) and 650 kt (100% market share) depending on the realized policy, the market share of VRFBs and the installed capacity [ 12, 13 ].
Does Germany have a vanadium market?
In Germany, the steel industry alone absorbs about 90% of the total vanadium imported . Since vanadium for batteries is not recyclable yet , the entry of the energy sector in the vanadium market would significantly intensify the competition and put a significant risk on the reliability of the vanadium availability.
Can vanadium disrupt the energy supply chain?
A supply chain disruption of vanadium can generate complex impacts on national energy systems in particular on the reliability of electricity provision, potentially demanding a reconsideration of the chosen strategy for the energy transformation process.
Does vanadium have a supply chain?
In total, 242 variables were selected to characterize vanadium's supply chain. Considering a successful energy transformation in 2050, four logic-stochastic models were created to assess the supply risks associated with four different market shares of VRFBs at the storage market, i.e. 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%.
Is vanadium a critical metal for energy transformation?
The potentially increasing relevance of vanadium for the energy transformation gives the respective governments a strong leverage for acting . Taking into account the risks outlined above, including vanadium in the list of critical metals by the European Commission (EC) was inevitable .
What is a 'vanadium supply system'?
This means that the “vanadium supply system”, i.e. the macro system, is less vulnerable or more reliable than its most critical “mine subsystem”. The absence of qualified personnel is the first criticality identified, with a weight of 34.56% to the overall risk.
