Eos Energy Enterprises

Michael Oster co-founded Eos Energy Enterprises in 2008 and served as its CEO through 2019, leading the company from inception through its early commercial deployments. Recognizing that the energy transition required storage solutions beyond lithium-ion, Oster guided Eos in developing its zinc hybrid cathode battery technology and securing early partnerships with NRG Energy, Duke Energy, and Siemens. He was instrumental in raising venture capital and building the commercial foundation that enabled Eos to later go public. His strategic leadership established the company as a pioneer in non-lithium grid-scale storage.

Dr. Steven Amendola is a chemist and inventor who co-founded Eos Energy Enterprises in 2008, designing the zinc hybrid cathode battery chemistry with an aqueous electrolyte that forms the basis of Eos's Znyth technology. He is also the founder of Renewable Silicon International (RSi), a silicon processing technology company. Amendola's electrochemical inventions gave Eos a non-flammable, scalable alternative to lithium-ion for grid storage. His prior work on novel battery chemistries and materials science underpins the safe, low-cost storage system Eos manufactures for utility and commercial applications.
