Verne is a Berkeley-Stanford startup developing novel high-density, low-cost hydrogen storage systems and related technologies for heavy-duty trucking. Our technology will accelerate the transition of the global heavy-duty transportation industry away from diesel fuel to zero-emissions green hydrogen. Our new onboard storage technology reduces the cost, weight, and volume of hydrogen storage by 50%, and makes it even safer than existing storage solutions. These characteristics allow trucks to carry a higher payload or travel double the distance before refueling. Successful deployment of our technology into the heavy-duty truck market is expected to lead to future expansions into the maritime and aviation industries. We are building a world-class engineering team to accelerate the decarbonization of the heavy-duty industry. We are supported by advisors at Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and Berkeley, and have funding from Stanford, MIT, Caltech, the National Science Foundation, and leading climate-tech angel investors.
