Researchers from LLNL and Verne, a San Francisco-based start-up, have demonstrated a hydrogen storage system that can support heavy-duty vehicles, such as semi-trucks. The researchers, from left to right, are: Kara Zhang, a Verne process engineer; LLNL mechanical engineer Nick Killingsworth; Ted McKlveen, Bav Roy and David Jaramillo, all co-founders of Verne; and Verne mechanical engineer Harry Clarke. The researchers are standing next to Verne’s cryo-compressed hydrogen storage system, which has an internal volume of 445 liters or about 117 gallons. LLNL’s cryogenic hydrogen fueling facility is in the background. A liquid hydrogen Dewar is to the right and the white transportainer to the left houses a Linde liquid hydrogen pump that can dispense cryogenic compressed hydrogen gas up to 875 bar at up to 100 kilograms per hour.
