In an August 2024 report “Achieving the Promise of Low-Cost Long Duration Energy Storage,” the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) found flow batteries to have the lowest levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of any technology that isn't geologically constrained. DOE estimates that flow batteries can come to an LCOS of $0.055/kWh.
That work seems to be paying off. In an August 2024 report “Achieving the Promise of Low-Cost Long Duration Energy Storage,” the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) found flow batteries to have the lowest levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of any technology that isn't geologically constrained.
Flow batteries that use domestically produced organic material would change the calculus and emerge as true competitors to lithium-ion. What has made it hard is that organic materials typically degrade quickly under strong reducing or oxidizing conditions – in other words, when charging and discharging a battery.
Flow batteries are a type of electrochemical ES, which consists of two chemical components dissolved in liquid separated by a membrane. Charging and discharging of batteries occur by ion transferring from one component to another component through the membrane. The biggest advantages of flow batteries are the capability of pack in large volumes.
Flow batteries are emerging as a lucrative option that can overcome many of lithium-ion's shortcomings and address unmet needs in the critical mid- to long-duration energy storage (LDES) space. With most energy transition technologies, cost is still king.
With most energy transition technologies, cost is still king. Innovators in the flow battery space have been working hard to develop options that compete with both lithium-ion and vanadium, the dominant flow battery chemistry available on the market today. That work seems to be paying off.
