Lithium-ion Market To Increase From $10 Million To $235 Million

As Europe takes huge strides to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase usage of renewables and energy storage (the European Union wants renewables to account for 20 percent of all energy produced by 2020, up from 12.5 percent in 2010), batteries will be instrumental in achieving this goal.
