Invinity Energy Systems

Invinity, via its vanadium flow battery technology, offers investors exposure to the rapidly growing stationary energy storage market. Although there are a lot of competing technologies in this area, Vanadium flow batteries are seen as a safer and more economical alternative to lithium-based battery systems.

Invinity’s storage devices can run continually with no degradation, charging and discharging for over 25 years, and so are well suited for large-scale renewable energy projects.

After several years of research, development and commercialisation, Invinity now has products in use; at this point, the task in hand is to win more customers and the management team is well capable of doing this. 

The company’s environmental credentials are very high, and the technology can accelerate the transition to net zero.

Invinity relies on a global supply chain for vanadium and specialised components used in its flow batteries, prompting potential concerns around ethical sourcing, labour conditions and geopolitical exposure.

 Proper due diligence on suppliers and alignment with recognised standards is important to maintaining stakeholder confidence.
While vanadium flow batteries offer long-duration storage with lower degradation than lithium-ion alternatives, end-of-life management remains a challenge.

Extraction, processing and disposal of materials carry environmental and social implications. Designing batteries for durability, reuse and recyclability will be key to reducing lifecycle emissions. That said, Invinity can already demonstrate how its technology supports sustainable resource use and contributes to a low-carbon energy system.
