Environmental Benefits

In wide-scale application within electricity grids, RedFlow's ZB battery can make utility networks more efficient by reducing transmission losses and replacing or deferring the need for high cost and only partly utilised traditional network infrastructure to deal with peak electricity demand.

When used with Photo Voltaic (PV) Solar panels, ZB batteries make this source of renewable energy much more valuable to utilities as it  matches the availability of solar energy with the utility demand.  This improves the economic case for further replacement of fossil fuel fired generation with clean, renewable solar energy.

Other advantages for the environment are:

• The materials used to construct RedFlow ZB batteries are fully re-recyclable;
• Its compactness means it is less energy intensive to transport and install;
• The battery's low weight and long life minimises material consumption;
• The electrolyte is reusable and has an indefinite life; and
• The ZB battery does not use lead or other toxic heavy metals.
