Verne Industries tested the world’s first cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) truck in Southern California. The truck drove hundreds of miles and underwent multiple refueling events using Verne’s proprietary CcH2 filling equipment.
The test validated the density and dormancy benefits of CcH2 and demonstrated the system’s reliability and durability under real-world conditions.
Verne’s cryo-compressed hydrogen technology offers a 33% greater storage density than liquid hydrogen and an 87% greater density than traditional 700 bar compressed hydrogen. The technology also reduces densification costs and minimizes hydrogen boil-off losses compared to liquid hydrogen storage. Verne estimates that these advancements could enable 40% cheaper hydrogen distribution costs relative to existing methods.
The Southern California demonstration validated Verne’s storage and fueling systems under rigorous conditions, including rugged off-road terrain. This milestone prepares Verne to begin hydrogen distribution pilots with key customers, laying the groundwork for scaling up to full commercial operations.
An initial target market for Verne’s CcH2 distribution technology is replacing diesel generators with zero-emission hydrogen-powered alternatives. Verne’s system enables cost-effective clean energy delivery to customers in sectors such as construction, warehouses, ports, EV charging, and remote events. This technology addresses the demand for clean power in locations not served by the electrical grid or existing hydrogen distribution systems.
