After our previous newsletter we received a few comments querying the inclusion of the EU’s Battery Passport in this year’s pre-conference workshop. Here we try to explain why it is so important.  Big news this week about producing electric vehicles in Europe as manufacturers seek to find enough batteries made in the EU to meet […]

Join us on Monday 26 June for a pre-conference workshop on the Battery Passport and Standardisation, two important issues currently impacting the flow battery industry. Held in conjunction with Flow Batteries Europe, and located in the main conference hotel, this workshop will provide timely and important information on the Battery Passport, derived from the European […]

With just 6½ weeks to go we are busily planning IFBF 2023. We have a full programme of speakers, almost 50 confirmed posters, and a wealth of exhibitors. All supported by our generous sponsors. But there’s more to life than just work. A timely email from the Lonely Planet reminded us that Prague is also […]

Why switch from pumped hydroelectricity energy storage to flow batteries? This year’s International Flow Battery Forum comes at a time of almost insatiable demand for battery energy storage, an ever pressing need to reduce carbon based electrical generation, and an urgent desire to ensure energy security at local, national and international levels. We will look […]

Don’t leave it too late to be early! We expect this year’s IFBF to be busier than ever and a very interesting conference. We have received over 90 proposals covering a wide range of commercial and technical subjects. As well as improving vanadium flow battery batteries, we will explore other exciting technologies such as zinc […]

The proposed EU Battery Passport, which was part of the new EU Batteries Regulation, was a major topic of discussion at last year’s IFBF. You may recall that flow batteries had been excluded from the Regulation; it seems because flow batteries were not considered a relevant technology. Most of those at IFBF 20222 agreed this […]

As 2022 comes to an end we wish you all a very Happy Christmas. In 2023 we hope to see many of you at our conference in Prague, 27 – 29 June. The first proposals for presentations have already arrived and we look forward to receiving many more. Please view the venue, submit your proposal […]

Since 2010, IFBF conferences have successfully raised the profile of flow batteries showcasing this crucial electrical energy storage technology. Our conferences bring together everyone interested in research, development, manufacturing, commercialisation, and deployment of flow batteries from around the world. We now invite you to submit your proposals for presentations, keynote addresses, interviews, panel discussions, posters, and […]

We are pleased to announce that next year’s IFBF 2023 conference will be held in the historic European city of Prague in the Czech Republic, at the Corinthia Hotel, from 27 – 29 June 2023. This will be our twelfth face-to-face conference, bringing together everyone interested in the research, development, manufacturing, commercialisation, and deployment of flow batteries […]
