This is so exciting!

Flow batteries use an old technology, but have been greatly refined recently and could be a great solution to storage from renewables, using non-toxic materials:)

Um yeah. There has to be a better solution. #Mining companies are notorious for #EnvironmentalRacism and destruction of plant and animal life. We need to recycle the #Lithium we have, and switch ASP to #CarbonDioxide and #FlowBatteries that don't involve Lithium!

US judge won't block huge lithium mine on Nevada-Oregon line

A federal judge has sided with the Biden administration and a mining company in a fight with environmentalists and tribal leaders trying to block a huge lithium mine in Nevada near the Oregon line

by Scott Sonner, February 24, 2023

"Opponents say the mine would destroy key #wildlife habitat and sacred #cultural treasures, harm #groundwater and pollute the air. They argued in their request for an emergency court order last week that without it, the developer would begin to rip up a high-desert sea of #sagebrush that holds some of the most critical habitat still intact for the dwindling sage #grouse in the West.

"Friday's ruling marks the third time in two years Du has refused to grant injunctions sought by the conservationists, #NativeAmerican tribes and a Nevada rancher who lives near the mine."

There are limited world supplies of Vanadium. We need to work on other types of batteries that last as long as Vanadium, and that don't cause more pollution (whether from mining or waste products).

#Flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage

Guiding future research pathways

by Nancy W. Stauffer, January 25, 2023

"The researchers stress the urgency of the climate change threat and the need to have grid-scale, long-duration storage systems at the ready. “There are many chemistries now being looked at,” says Rodby, “but we need to hone in on some solutions that will actually be able to compete with vanadium and can be deployed soon and operated over the long term.”

"The good news, notes Rodby, is that advances achieved in research on one type of flow battery chemistry can often be applied to others. “A lot of the principles learned with vanadium can be translated to other systems,” she says. She believes that the field has advanced not only in understanding but also in the ability to design experiments that address problems common to all flow batteries, thereby helping to prepare the technology for its important role of grid-scale storage in the future."

Not so long ago, certain #LNP politicians were touting a scare campaign about electric utes, and just days ago Angus Taylor was ridiculing grid storage as only providing 30 minutes, not that he understood grid stability, or pretended not to understand. Every day now I'm reading new news stories about long term grid-scale #redox #FlowBatteries. #AusPol
