Green Economy

SECTION ONE

According to Wikipedia, a green economy is an economy that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities,
and that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment.

How are we part of the Green Economy?

VanadiumCorp is an integrated green technology company with strategic vanadium mineral deposit assets. Our company is focused on commercializing disruptive technologies to process mineral concentrates, produce and regenerate vanadium battery electrolytes sustainably, and construct next-generation vanadium redox flow-battery “VRFB” systems. VRFBs are 100% green technology from mine or waste to battery when hydrometallurgical processes produce the vanadium source commodity.

How VRFBs Can Be Used To Change The World

Commercial and Industrial

In today’s technology-interconnected world, Commercial and Industrial customers need a high quality, reliable source of energy, a means of managing the ever-increasing cost of that energy, and a way to ensure power quality and reliability, even during disruptions of grid service and blackouts. In addition, by integrating storage with solar or other renewable sources, self-generated power is used to provide both economic and environmental benefits.

VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery provides the long duration, highly efficient, fast-charging capabilities that deliver those economic and environmental paybacks. The Battery helps reduce expensive demand charges by allowing customers to store inexpensive electricity produced at night for use during peak hours of the day. In the advent of temporary outages, the Green Battery system can provide back-up power and can enable “islanded” microgrids that can power an entire facility. And VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery will ensure that onsite renewable resources are leveraged to their full capability by storing their power as it’s delivered, for smooth use when it’s needed.

Utilities

Grid-scale energy storage is transforming the way in which we harness the power of the world’s electricity systems. With its inherent scaling ability, the VanadiumCorp Green Battery enables 5kW to Multi-MW grid storage applications and delivers short or long duration capability (seconds to hours of energy storage) with low lifetime operating costs for all applications requiring high cycle life and fast response.

VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery:

Defers or avoids the need to upgrade and maintain expensive transmission and distribution infrastructure, reducing the financial risks associated with large investments in under-utilized capacity
Stores inexpensive electricity produced at night for use during peak hours of the day, eliminating inefficient peaking generating and reducing costs and emissions
Enables greater integration of renewable power generation and provide clean, cost-effective generation capacity in load centers where it’s most needed
Provides Ancillary Services – such as frequency regulation, voltage support and reserve response to maintain safe, reliable, and secure transmission of electricity on the grid

Telecom

In areas where grid power is unavailable or only intermittently available telecom operators are deploying hybrid diesel/lead-acid battery systems to power their Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). By coupling the generator with batteries, the generator can be run more efficiently while the batteries charge, and then turned off while the batteries discharge to support the BTS. However, aside from the rising cost of diesel fuel, using conventional battery technology for energy storage has severe performance and asset life limitations, and critically introduces a high-security risk due to theft in many remote locations.

VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery replaces conventional batteries in off-grid or weak-grid telecom applications. The VanadiumCorp Green Battery is a game-changing, smart energy storage system that seamlessly integrates into a telecom site and can intelligently manage energy use, providing a long-duration, highly efficient, fast-charging, reliable solution to rising fuel costs, increasing greenhouse emission pressures and unreliable electric grids, while mitigating the security risk of theft.

Residential

VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery helps you to take full advantage of your solar energy resource. With VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery, residential customers can store electricity when rates are low, and use that electricity to reduce peak-usage charges and save on monthly electricity bills. And VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery will provide your home with electricity even when the utility grid goes down. During temporary outages, or after natural disasters, a fully charged ESP system will provide several hours of energy during an emergency. When coupled with renewable or other distributed energy resources, VanadiumCorp’s Green Battery can integrate with off-grid microgrids to power a village or neighbourhood.

Whether you’re powering a cell tower or a large industrial complex, VanadiumCorp has a simple, reliable and cost-effective energy storage solution to meet your requirements.
