What is flow batteries Europe?

Flow Batteries Europe (FBE) represents flow battery stakeholders with a united voice to shape a long-term strategy for the flow battery sector. We aim to provide help to shape the legal framework for flow batteries at the EU level, contribute to the EU decision-making process as well as help to define R&D priorities.

Can flow batteries be a European clean tech success story?

In summary, flow batteries offer a combination of scalability, flexibility and sustainability benefits that make them suited to support the integration of renewable energy sources into power systems. With the right vision and with the right support, flow batteries can become a European clean tech success story. 2.

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries can moreover be built using low-cost, non-corrosive and readily-available materials. Their design is highly modular, and their parts can be almost entirely reused or repurposed. Moreover, flow batteries can charge and discharge more efficiently than comparable LDES solutions.

What is a flow battery target?

In summary, endorsing a flow battery target signals a need for this type of energy storage, thereby creating a stable and predictable market. Alongside adequate policy tools, a flow battery target can attract investment and drive innovation. This will, in turn, accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy system.

What are the advantages of flow batteries?

Flow batteries also have environmental and safety advantages over alternative LDES technologies. They have long life cycles of around 20 years, reducing replacement and maintenance costs. Flow batteries can moreover be built using low-cost, non-corrosive and readily-available materials.

Are flow batteries safe?

Flow batteries are also safer than comparable technologies given that the liquid electrolytes are chemically stable. Finally, flow batteries are an easy fit with existing renewable energy infrastructure; they are often designed to work with renewable energy systems and can be easily controlled through energy management systems.
