Long duration energy storage using organic flow batteries
The need
Long duration energy storage is urgently needed to support renewable energy integration globally. Current battery technologies are unable to meet the rapidly growing demand as they are based on rare and costly metals and materials.
The solution
Rivus’ organic flow batteries provide a cost-effective, eco-friendly and scalable solution for long duration energy storage, as they are based on abundant and accessible organic materials. Backed by EIT InnoEnergy, Rivus’ breakthrough technology has been tested and verified over six years demonstrating superior cost savings and environmental benefits compared to current technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries and vanadium flow batteries.
The value proposition
- Low cost – Electrolyte prices of €100/kWh are expected.
- Safe – Non-flammable, non-explosive, and non-toxic.
- Eco friendly – based on abundant organic materials.
- Close to market – Uses existing vanadium flow battery hardware.
