Visionary, Co-Founder
PHOS Global began as an ambitious vision in 2018, driven by the desire to revolutionize the energy storage landscape with a focus on sustainability, safety, and innovation. Founded by a team of passionate entrepreneurs, the company identified the limitations of existing technologies like chemical batteries and traditional flywheels, particularly in terms of safety, lifespan, and efficiency. The PHOS team’s goal was to create a new type of energy storage solution that could meet the demands of a rapidly decarbonizing world while being safe, environmentally friendly, and incredibly durable.
​
Through extensive research and development, the engineers at PHOS Global created the Advanced Magnetic Kinetic Energy Storage System (AMKESS), a groundbreaking technology that overcame the limitations of traditional systems. By incorporating advanced magnetic gears and a modular design, AMKESS offers the ability to store and discharge energy simultaneously, operate with a lifespan exceeding 30 years, and integrate seamlessly with renewable energy sources. What started as an idea to improve grid stability and renewable energy adoption has now grown into a game-changing solution poised to redefine the energy storage market for industrial, commercial, and utility-scale applications worldwide.
