The safe and cost-effective storage of hydrogen is a crucial challenge in its widespread adoption for energy applications. Verne Inc. and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have made significant progress in this area with the development of cryo-compression technology. This innovative approach serves as a bridge between high-density hydrogen liquefaction and low-density hydrogen compression. By successfully demonstrating cryo-compression directly from gaseous hydrogen, they have achieved an important milestone in efficient hydrogen storage. The cryo-compressor technology platform being developed by Verne aims to convert gaseous hydrogen at low pressures and ambient temperatures to cryo-compressed hydrogen at higher pressures and lower temperatures. This process eliminates the need for costly liquefaction, saving around $2/kg of hydrogen. Additionally, the cryo-compression pathway allows for modularization, simplified scaling, and optimization of the hydrogen distribution network, leading to lower distribution costs and enhanced efficiency. The focus is on hydrogen-to-power applications like electric-vehicle charging, construction sites, marine ports, and airports, where the benefits of cryo-compression can be maximized. With further demonstrations planned in commercial settings, this breakthrough technology has the potential to revolutionize hydrogen storage and distribution, making it more accessible and cost-effective for various industries.
