Emcee:  Dan P Type:  Unmoderated
Vanteck is an up and coming leader in the energy
storage technology field. The technology utilizes
Vanadium pentoxide, and is termed the Vanadium Redox
Battery.

There are a number of advantages of the VRB technology
compared to conventional lead-acid batteries.

A prototype is already in use in Japan: a 12 story building
uses this system: the storage unit is the size of a 2 file
cabinets. Electricity is expensive during the day, and so
the device stores energy during the night, and during the
day, the building's electricity needs are entirely run
by the device.

The device can range from small ups (uninterruptible
power source), to large storage devices, which are of
great interest to Utilities.

At this time, Vanteck has the licensing rights to the
technology for the entire continent of Africa, has an
agreement with Eskom (largest African utility), and
has recently concluded an agreement with Highveld steel,
the largest producer of Vanadium. Vanteck is after
world rights for the technology, which is licensed by
Pinnacle (an Australian company).

For questions, call the company at 604-669-8331
