Advario, VFlowTech, and JTC have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on scaling up vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) capacity for clean energy storage on Jurong Island, Singapore.
Bas Verkooijen, CEO at Advario says: ‘This project showcases Singapore’s leadership in building strong public- private partnerships to push boundaries and accelerate the energy transition on Jurong Island. We are proud to support this initiative, bringing our terminal design and operating expertise to develop innovative solutions.’
Under the MoU, the companies will use Advario’s tank infrastructure to scale VFlowTech’s VRFB technology up to 40 MWh, about 25 times its current capacity.
Avishek Kumar, CEO at VFlowTech adds: ‘Our partnership with Advario, supported by agencies like JTC, EMA and EnterpriseSG, has demonstrated how collaboration can help scale and deploy advanced technologies for real-world impact.’
The large-scale deployment aims to help the storage of excess electricity generated across Singapore, particularly from renewable sources like solar, for use by the national grid during peak demand periods.
Tan Boon Khai, CEO at JTC comments: ‘Jurong Island serves as a living testbed and model for clean energy innovation. The MoU underscores the energy and chemicals industry’s commitment to transit towards a low- carbon economy.’
