Energy is what stands out for me. The sector is very competitive and moves faster that biotech. A drop-in solution could mean the tech is picked up quickly.
If you take note of the themes in the plethora of articles, and research papers, that regularly pop-up in the media, there is demand for increased capacity, faster charge times, and increased durability, so these claims from ADO won't go unnoticed.
Early data indicates that a successful development program has the potential to deliver batteries with:
1. Significantly higher charging capacity when compared with current batteries and
competing technologies under development.
2. Better charge/discharge efficiency allowing batteries to deliver more power for
longer to the end user; and
3. Significantly faster charging and longer lasting batteries.
For example, the lithium ion battery market is large and growing rapidly. Estimates place the current market size at about $30 billion pa and it is expected to increase to $50 billion pa by 2018.
Key sectors in the market applicable to Anteo technology include automotive, mobile phones and tablets, laptops, power tools, toys, other portable electronic devices, defence and renewable energy storage. Automotive has the most potential for growth.
Obviously these claims need to be quantified.
Here's a great link on Tesla's website that discusses some of the above issues.
