About Verne
Verne is developing innovative hydrogen technology that enables heavy-duty transportation (trucks, ships, and planes) to operate with zero emissions. Heavy-duty transportation is vital to the functioning of our global society, but is also responsible for 10% of global greenhouse gases. If vehicles switch from fossil fuels to green hydrogen, they can operate without producing any emissions. However, two challenges prohibit this transition: storing enough hydrogen onboard to power their operations, and access to this hydrogen to refuel.
Verne is bringing to market two technologies that simultaneously address these challenges. First, Verne has developed a new way to increase the density of hydrogen gas. This equipment will be installed at refueling stations, converting low density hydrogen into ultra-high-density hydrogen fuel. Second, Verne has developed a way to store this high-density hydrogen onboard vehicles. Together, these two technologies more than double the amount of hydrogen that can be stored onboard vehicles, doubling vehicle range and allowing them to carry a full payload. With Verne’s technology, vehicles can maintain current operations while eliminating harmful emissions.
Verne has made significant strides toward this massive industrial transformation and is in the midst of pilot program design with vehicle and equipment manufacturers. Verne has gained the support from leading technology institutions, including MIT, Caltech, and Stanford. All three co-founders were selected as fellows in the inaugural cohort of Breakthrough Energy’s new fellowship program, supported by Bill Gates.
