Vema

Founded in 2021, Vema is a private headquartered in Houston, United States with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Hydrogen, Energy Storage.

Vema Hydrogen is a U.S. producer of low-carbon hydrogen offering a disruptive sustainable hydrogen production technology called Engineered Mineral Hydrogen (EMH). The company's proprietary approach harnesses naturally occurring geochemical reactions in subsurface rock formations—specifically targeting ophiolites and banded iron formations—and accelerates them through catalytic stimulation to produce high-purity hydrogen at scale. By applying geoscience to derisk production, Vema enables predictable, cost-competitive hydrogen output suitable for large-scale industrial energy and baseload power needs. The company targets hydrogen production costs below $1 per kilogram, making EMH economically viable compared to petroleum-derived hydrogen. Vema is advancing commercialization through pilot projects in Quebec and planned deployments across North America, with strong market traction demonstrated through partnerships with data center operators and industrial energy users seeking reliable, low-emission power solutions.
