Verne is thrilled to announce a strategic fundraise led by Trucks Venture Capital, with participation from existing investors Collaborative Fund and Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, and new investors United Airlines Ventures Sustainable Flight Fund and Newlab. Heavy-duty transportation is responsible for 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Verne’s high-density hydrogen storage technology provides the required range and payload to decarbonize heavy-duty vehicles including trucks and planes. “Verne is motivated to provide zero-emission solutions that don’t require these critical industries to make costly performance trade-offs. Bringing on new strategic investors, and strengthening our partnership with existing investors, will help us accelerate our path to market and decarbonize this critical industry,” said Ted McKlveen, Co-founder & CEO of Verne.

We're excited to announce our latest investment and addition to our portfolio, Windfall Bio, a methane-to-value company. Windfall Bio’s nature-based solution harnesses methane-eating microbes to capture and transform methane from any source into valuable outputs, like organic fertilizer. Methane contributes to 30 percent of the planet’s warming, and capturing these emissions is a unique opportunity to reduce global emissions quickly and significantly, especially as market demand and regulatory pressures mount. “Windfall Bio’s approach to methane mitigation creates an exciting greenhouse gas emissions reduction opportunity for agricultural customers and other industries. We look forward to piloting Windfall Bio with our Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh suppliers, and delivering results together in the coming years.” - Nick Ellis, Climate Pledge Fund Portfolio Success.

Congratulations to our portfolio company, Brimstone on being selected to receive a $189 million investment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Industrial Demonstration Program. They were one of 33 companies selected to be part of the largest industrial decarbonization efforts in U.S. history 🎉👏🏻
This is big. Brimstone was selected for a transformational $189 million investment by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Industrial Demonstration Program. No one knows more about decarbonizing our economy, or about what it will take to achieve global impact than DOE. By backing Brimstone’s commercial demonstration plant, the DOE has offered jet fuel to accelerate our scale-up and path to market. Since Day One, we’ve believed that decarbonizing cement requires developing a product identical to the industry-standard portland cement that builders everywhere know and trust. The process would need to be extremely low-carbon, and cost-competitive at full scale. DOE’s investment in Brimstone is a powerful validation of this approach and our work. After a highly competitive process, we’re thrilled to be among the 33 companies chosen to be part of the largest industrial decarbonization effort in U.S. history, one that will create clean jobs, transform sectors, and help spur an American-led clean industrial revolution. Let’s build.
