About the company
Vema is a climate tech startup working on unlocking clean hydrogen supply to accelerate industrial decarbonisation and transition to clean fuels.

This technology is called stimulated hydrogen or orange hydrogen.
In order to unlock this potential, we are working on testing in our dedicated laboratory different classes of catalysts to accelerate by several orders of magnitude the natural rates of reaction.
