Awesom Energy B.V. has successfully developed a fluoride class of rechargeable batteries for high temperature and high-pressure environments that can be found in oil and gas, geothermal and other industries. Awesom Energy current focus is to deliver the third generation of batteries with an increased energy density and power. These solid-state batteries can easily withstand high temperatures and other hazardous environmental conditions because all materials used in a cell are solid. Solid-state, as the name implies, uses a solid material to enable transport of ions in a battery. The benefits of this material system include the following: Safety – the solid electrolyte is non-volatile with better heat tolerance, which prevents catastrophic failure unlike when using Li-ion cells; Increased energy density – higher energy density allows for smaller and lighter devices. The energy density of fluoride class batteries is several times higher than of any currently available Li-ion cells, which allows the cells to be recharged in less than 3 minutes; Simpler packaging and lower cost – with Awesom solid-state technology, engineers are less concerned with high battery temperatures and can potentially remove cooling systems entirely, which results in significant reduction in weight, package and associated materials and shipping costs. The company was founded by Dmitriy Grigoryev and co-founded by Vladimir Savanovich in 2015 with a goal of solving the energy saving challenge of humanity. The technology must be green, safe and sufficient for all kinds of use. Dmitriy Grigoryev is a hi-tech visioner and entrepreneur, who dedicated his life for solving various technological problems faced by humanity today. He started his career as a business consultant in major consulting companies in London and Europe. He served as a C-level executive in major oil & gas companies. He is a world-class energy expert and a partner of a fund focused on Hydrogen power technology development with massive investments in dozens of hydrogen energy technology companies. Vladimir Savanovich is a physics scientist, a highly experienced business leader, and high-tech and biotech entrepreneur/early-stage investor, who dedicated his life to commercializing science-based technologies for the benefit of humanity.
