In today’s changing world where innovation and sustainability are keys to progress, companies and utilities in the energy industry are looking for solutions to bridge the long-existing gap between traditional energy generation, renewable energy generation, and energy storage systems. One company that seeks to meet this challenge is Amber Kinetics as it brings to the Philippines the world’s first and only long-duration flywheel energy storage system.

Flywheel technology is an innovation that efficiently stores kinetic energy by a spinning steel rotor enclosed in a vacuum container. Amber Kinetics achieved a breakthrough with their technology by extending the duration and efficiency of flywheels from minutes to hours, thus resulting in safe, economical, and reliable energy storage. Their flywheels feature an energy capacity of 32 kWh and can be scaled up to tens or even hundreds of megawatts.
