Compressed gas runs the modern world — and for a hundred years it has travelled in the same round bottle, with the same wasted corners, cages, cradles and clearances. Vessel Energy Systems exists to change the shape of that industry. Literally.
VESSEL is a world first: the first flat high-pressure vessel — a conformal alternative to the cylinder that stores up to 60% more gas in the same envelope. Not a refinement of the bottle, but a new shape for storing pressure.
One platform, skinned for its duty — carbon for weight, aramid for fire, aluminium for cost — serving mobility, energy infrastructure, life-support and industrial gas.
We work with vehicle manufacturers, energy developers, marine builders and industrial-gas partners to put storage where it has never fit before: flush to a chassis, flat on a roofline, inside a wall, against a bulkhead. Where the bottle was the constraint, the envelope becomes the feature.
Every vehicle, building and machine of the last century was designed around the cylinder. We build the vessel that adapts instead — flat, conformal and made for scale manufacturing — so that clean fuels and vital gases can fit wherever they are needed, in space that is already there.
Vessel Energy Systems is a proud recipient of Alberta Innovates funding, supporting the development of the flat high-pressure vessel in Canada.
We are working with partners across mobility, energy, marine and industry. If flat storage changes what you can build, we should talk.
