Verne's first on-board testing of its cryo-compressed hydrogen storage system on a vehicle, completed as part of the Breakthrough Energy Fellows program. The testing validated the performance of the technology and all sub-systems.

Verne's core project to develop and commercialize cryo-compressed hydrogen storage technology for on-board use in heavy-duty vehicles. The technology cools and compresses hydrogen to achieve maximum density for improved range and payload.

Quaise is developing and commercializing a hybrid deep drilling method using gyrotron-generated millimetric electromagnetic waves to enable drilling at depths of 10–20 km to access geothermal energy.

A hybrid deep drilling method utilizing a gyrotron to generate millimetric electromagnetic waves, enabling drilling to depths of 10–20 km to access geothermal energy sources.

A high-density hydrogen storage system that cools and compresses hydrogen to 73 g/L internal density for on-board use in heavy-duty vehicles. The system enables semi-trucks to achieve diesel-equivalent range (900+ miles) and payload without adding extra weight.
