Pike Research forecasts worldwide grid energy storage spending to reach $22B by 2021, down from 2010 forecast of $35B

Green Car Congress

Key applications for long-duration energy storage include counterbalancing the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power; leveling the loads and time-shifting periods of peak demand on the grid; and avoiding or delaying the construction of costly transmission and distribution (T&D) assets, among others.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Based on our precious metals recycling, we pioneered industrial-scale battery recycling in 2011 in Belgium. This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. It’s part of our circular business model which we adopted 23 years ago.
