VERNE has filed a notable patent titled “A system and method for managing a cryo-compressed state of hydrogen fuel.”
The patent filing date is May 30, 2024. The assignee, VERNE INC., is spearheading advancements in the hydrogen fuel sector with this innovative approach to storing and managing hydrogen fuel.
Features and Improvements
The patented technology outlines a comprehensive system that integrates a compressor, a cooling system, and a storage mechanism for managing hydrogen fuel in a cryo-compressed state. This system stands out due to its ability to handle hydrogen in a compressed state and subsequently cool it to a cryogenic temperature, which allows for denser storage and potentially increased energy efficiency. This dual-process of compression and cryogenic cooling marks a significant improvement over conventional hydrogen storage methods, which typically involve either compression or cryogenic storage alone but not both in sequence.
Potential Applications
The cryo-compressed hydrogen fuel management system has numerous potential applications. Primarily, it could revolutionize the hydrogen fuel industry by providing safer and more efficient storage solutions for hydrogen fuel. This technology is particularly relevant for applications in hydrogen-powered vehicles, aerospace, and stationary power generation systems where efficient and high-capacity fuel storage is crucial.
