Australian Flow Batteries (AFB), established in 2022 and based in Bibra Lake, Western Australia, is a clean energy technology company focused on providing energy storage solutions.
Enter flow batteries —a homegrown technology that could reshape Australia’s energy future. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which max out at four to six hours of storage, flow batteries can store energy for up to 12 hours, making them a game-changer for balancing solar and wind power. And here’s the kicker—this tech isn’t imported.
Australia’s long-standing leadership in flow battery technology has reached a new milestone with the release of the battery best practice guide for flow batteries titled Flow Battery Energy Storage – Guidelines for Safe and Effective Use.
Allegro Energy and Origin Energy will install Australia’s first microemulsion flow battery at the Eraring coal-fired power station, in New South Wales. Newcastle-headquartered energy storage company Allegro Energy has unveiled a breakthrough in long-duration energy storage (LDES) with Australia’s first microemulsion flow battery.
Flow batteries are recognised globally for their long-duration energy storage capabilities, safety profile, and suitability for stationary storage applications. This guide supports Australia's ambitions to be at the forefront of energy innovation and reinforces the importance of storage technologies in accelerating the energy transition.
Australian renewables developer North Harbour Clean Energy will team with European battery energy storage systems supplier CellCube to establish a vanadium redox flow battery manufacturing and assembly facility in Australia with a projected capacity of up to 1 GW/8 GWh per annum.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
