4 Canadian Vanadium Stocks Worth a Look

Following the recent rise in battery metals prices, we have found some Canadian vanadium stocks to watch as vanadium has the unique characteristics to become the next hot battery metal

SmallCapPower | November 7, 2017: Vanadium is a metallic element that is used in the manufacture of batteries for utility scale energy storage. Vanadium has a number of attributes that make it preferable to lithium, for utilities & grid scale battery storage. Vanadium flow batteries have significantly longer lifetimes of up to 20 years, as opposed to lithium batteries where capacities tend to decline significantly after 3 to 5 years of use. More importantly, vanadium flow batteries generate very low levels of heat, and do not pose a risk of combustion that lithium batteries face. Although the batteries for grid-scale energy storage are a relatively new technology, they are increasing in popularity, and could boost the share prices of the Canadian vanadium stocks on our list. Megawatt scale batteries are being developed for projects in China, the UK, United States and Singapore.
