About Vanadium

Vanadium is a hard, silvery-grey metal used to strengthen steel and in vanadium redox flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage. Vanadium flow batteries are emerging as a leading technology for long-duration renewable energy storage.

What drives Vanadium prices

Vanadium is critical for high-strength steel used in construction and vehicles, and vanadium flow batteries are key to enabling long-duration renewable energy storage on the grid. Demand is driven primarily by Vanadium steel alloys for high-strength construction, Vanadium redox flow batteries for grid storage, Aerospace and defense alloys. Supply is concentrated in China, Russia, South Africa, so output disruptions or trade-policy shifts in those countries are the main long-run drivers of Vanadium prices.
