The Transformation
South Africa possesses 13-21% of the world’s vanadium reserves, yet we export this strategic resource as raw ore. Ukhozi is changing this narrative by establishing the continent’s first integrated vanadium electrolyte manufacturing and VRFB assembly facility, capturing the full value chain from mineral beneficiation to energy storage solutions.
Our Vision
To transform South Africa from a raw mineral exporter into the continental leader in advanced energy storage manufacturing, creating a sustainable, high-value industrial ecosystem that powers Africa’s energy independence. With this vision at the heart of our business objectives, we are committed to undertaking projects that bring sustainable development within the African continent.
Our Mission
To establish South Africa’s first integrated Vanadium Electrolyte Manufacturing and Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Assembly facility, transforming strategic mineral resources into the foundation of long-duration energy security for Africa.
- Localise high-value mineral beneficiation
- Create sustainable, high-skilled employment
- Enable Africa’s renewable energy transition
- Build a circular, sustainable energy ecosystem
