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.
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.
The life cycle of these storage systems results in environmental burdens, which are investigated in this study, focusing on lithium-ion and vanadium flow batteries for renewable energy (solar and wind) storage for grid applications.
Flow batteries are seen as one promising technology to face this challenge. As different innovations in this field of technology are still under development, reproducible, comparable and verifiable life cycle assessment studies are crucial to providing clear evidence on the sustainability of different flow battery systems.
Finally, they have a long service life, easily reaching up to 20,000 cycles with current commercial electrolytes, which means ten to twenty years of operation, depending on the typology of usage. The following Fig. 1 visualizes the scheme of a common FB system. Fig. 1. Scheme of a flow battery system.
Use phase and end-of-life contribute significantly to overall environmental impact. Vanadium redox flow battery-based system results in lower environmental impact. Renewable energy has become an important alternative to fossil energy, as it is associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions.
