Vanadium flow batteries for electricity storage. Only a small fraction of downstream bitumen derivate is used for Polymer production. Vanadium is contained within oil sands bitumen in significant quantities (200 ppmw). Oil sands facilities already have concentrated Vanadium in current streams (i.e., fly ash and coke).

The objective of the project is to develop a high power and high energy electrical storage system that combines the strengths of each technology—high power density for ultracapacitors and high energy storage for Li-ion batteries—at equal or better system efficiency and net cost/density compared to current conventional Li-ion batteries.
