The share of batteries’ manufacturing processes in causing environmental contaminants (especially CO 2 emissions) is significant because of the high energy consumption, compared to other energy storage processes.
However, these systems are still in the developmental stage and currently suffer from poor cycle life, preventing their use in grid energy storage applications. Flow batteries store energy in electrolyte solutions which contain two redox couples pumped through the battery cell stack.
Energy storage systems, such as flow batteries, are essential for integrating variable renewable energy sources into the electricity grid. While a primary goal of increased renewable energy use on the grid is to mitigate environmental impact, the production of enabling technologies like energy storage systems causes environmental impact.
