Verne Secures Deep-Earth Hydrogen Supply for Data Centers
8.0
On December 16, 2025, Vema Hydrogen and Verne signed a 10-year purchase-and-sale agreement for more than 36,000 metric tons of engineered mineral hydrogen annually, with deliveries beginning as early as 2028. Vema’s EMH process extracts hydrogen from subsurface minerals to provide steady baseload fuel for Verne’s on-site power and cooling, aiming to reduce grid strain and stabilize emissions.
Key Points
- 1Announces 10-year deal delivering over 36,000 metric tons EMH annually from 2028
- 2Provides baseload, round‑the‑clock hydrogen independent of intermittent renewables and volatile markets
- 3Enables on‑site power for data centers, reducing grid strain and stabilizing fuel costs
Scoring Rationale
Official long‑term commercial deal and novel EMH technology drive impact, but evidence is limited to one regional pilot.
