Description
Description | US startup Quino Energy has developed a water-based flow battery technology that replaces vanadium with a cheaper organic compound derived from coal tar chemicals or petroleum aromatics, reducing energy storage costs and improving safety. The technology targets 8 to 24 hours of energy storage and allows the use of existing steel storage tanks for flow batteries, enabling redevelopment of oil storage infrastructure for energy storage applications. Quino plans to expand production globally and has received multiple funding rounds including grants from the US Department of Energy and California Energy Commission. |
