Vanadium – Advances in vanadium redox battery technology are improving the performance and stability of these energy storage devices. But an engineer at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory says costs need to drop before the battery is commercially viable.
Vanadium – A brief overview of vanadium price developments, supply and demand, and significant market movers.
Vanadium – With BRIC countries set to drive steel demand in the coming years, vanadium should also reap the benefits.
Vanadium – A brief overview of vanadium price developments, supply and demand, and significant market movers.
Vanadium – Production started in January at Atlantic's Windimurra mine in Western Australia. Ferrovanadium supply from the mine is expected to account for more than a tenth of world supply, helping turn the corner in a sector dominated by China, South Africa and Russia.
Vanadium – If vanadium redox batteries for energy storage become the norm, demand for vanadium will surge and current supply is in no shape to meet that demand.
Vanadium – India’s burgeoning steel demand, which is expected to record even bigger growth than China, will lead to unprecedented demand in coming years for Vanadium, a metal primarily used a steel strengthener.
Vanadium – With talk of supply tightening, vanadium suppliers are preparing to expand production. Increased demand has also led to developments in a number of non-traditional vanadium producing countries.
Vanadium – A global shortage in the vanadium market caused by increased vanadium demand in the steel, aerospace and the battery industries could affect the US, a country almost completely dependent on imports of the metal.
Vanadium – The Green Giant Vanadium in Madagascar currently is one of the largest vanadium deposits, though expensive extraction costs may hurt economic viability. But the company remains confident in the potential of their unique deposit.
