I was one of the inventors of one of the main types of flow battery in the 1980s. It has taken decades to bring batteries like these to commercial viability. But they are, finally, arriving in earnest. This year, the Australian government launched a national battery strategy to expand domestic manufacturing of batteries.
Enter flow batteries —a homegrown technology that could reshape Australia’s energy future. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which max out at four to six hours of storage, flow batteries can store energy for up to 12 hours, making them a game-changer for balancing solar and wind power. And here’s the kicker—this tech isn’t imported.
In Australia, Queensland-based company ESI Asia Pacific is planning to develop their own iron flow batteries at a new factory in Maryborough once construction is complete in 2026. While iron is plentiful and cheap, these batteries rely on high purity iron chloride to reduce iron corrosion.
However, the key to unlocking the potential of flow batteries lies in understanding their unique cost structure and capitalizing on their distinctive strengths. It’s clear that the cost per kWh of flow batteries may seem high at first glance. Yet, their long lifespan and scalability make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
We can also use flow batteries. These are a lesser-known cross between a conventional battery and a fuel cell. Flow batteries can feed energy back to the grid for up to 12 hours – much longer than lithium-ion batteries which only last four to six hours.
While this might appear steep at first, over time, flow batteries can deliver value due to their longevity and scalability. Operational expenditures (OPEX), on the other hand, are ongoing costs associated with the use of the battery. This includes maintenance, replacement parts, and energy costs for operation.
