Technical FAQs 4

What is a flow battery?

Please contact us for more information. Flow batteries are emerging as a transformative technology for large-scale energy storage, offering scalability and long-duration storage to address the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

Are flow batteries better than traditional lithium-ion batteries?

Flow batteries, which store energy in liquid electrolytes housed in separate tanks, offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries.

Are flow batteries sustainable?

Conferences > 2024 AEIT International Annua... Flow batteries, with their low environmental impact, inherent scalability and extended cycle life, are a key technology toward long duration energy storage, but their success hinges on new sustainable chemistries.

Are flow batteries a replacement for fossil fuels?

Rather than viewing flow batteries as a replacement for fossil fuels, we should see them as a valuable addition to our energy portfolio. A diversified energy mix that includes coal, natural gas, renewables, and advanced storage technologies like flow batteries is the most practical path forward.
