China (70 kt) produces over three times as much as Russia (20 kt) — vanadium is mainly used as a steel additive for reinforcement (construction steel, tooling), but is drawing growing interest for redox flow batteries, a still-marginal stationary energy-storage technology whose demand could reshape this ranking in the years ahead.
