For each flow battery type, the use of critical materials and major processing techniques can be the dominant contributor towards the environmental impacts associated with the whole life cycle stage of the flow batteries.
A transition from fossil to renewable energy requires the development of sustainable electric energy storage systems capable to accommodate an increasing amount of energy, at larger power and for a longer time. Flow batteries are seen as one promising technology to face this challenge.
As a more general note, improvements in the design of the representative flow battery units assessed here can improve life cycle environmental impact profiles. The ODP results are shown in Figure 14. These results show that the ODPs of the three flow batterieswere very similar and the impact of the VRFB is higher than the ZBFB and IFB.
Flow batteries (FBs) are a versatile electric energy storage solution offering significant potential in the energy transition from fossil to renewable energy in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve sustainable development goals. The vanadium flow battery (VFB) is the most common installed FB.
