  • According to LED Lighting's Global Outlook, demand is expected to reach 4.1bn lamps in 2025, from 864m lamps in 2015. Structure of a Li-ion battery Source: Altech HPA-coated separators improve battery safety by withstanding unusually high temperature incursions and reducing flammability during thermal runaway events. According to a 2017 Goldman Sachs report, entitled "The New Energy Landscape", LED technology's share of the global lighting market is expanding and is slated to reach 43% this year, potentially rising to around 75% by 2020. According to Orbite, around 3bn tonnes of red mud are stored in ponds around the world with no viable alternative to re-use the material and 120m tpa is produced globally. In November 2016, Altech signed a 20-year lease agreement for a proposed HPA plant construction site in Johor, Malaysia where the company can take advantage of a corporate tax rate of just 25% to reduce its operating costs.
