Save your Energy - Light & Tight
CUPAH
CUPAH is established in 2021 by Morten G. Stage as an innovation company developing a ground breaking carbon-nanotube (CNT) based composite material designed specifically for use in Hydrogen Storage tanks.
Our mission
Hydrogen is considered an essential energy carrier for the heavy transport in order to reduce the CO2 emissions from the transport sector.
Hydrogen storage tanks in all types of vehicles, from private cars to busses, trucks and trains is unfavarouble heavy.
The CNT composite has the potential to reduce the weight of hydrogen storage tanks significantly, as well as offering a considerable lower production time. With time the complete design of hydrogen tanks can be altered.
Morten Stage has more than 25 years of experience in the Energy sector with a background as a physicist and holding a PhD from Chalmers Technical University. Stage was early in his career responsible for the R&D Department at DONG Energy within oil & gas. Later, he was in charge of large industrial and innovation projects for Maersk Oil, ending as Managing Director for Maersk Oil Qatar.
In recent years Stage has served as VP for Norway and Netherlands for French energy major TotalEnergies, as well as spearheading Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage in Denmark. Dr. Stage was serving as chairman for the Danish parliaments mission driven partnership INNOCCUS in addition to being a core member of CO2Vision and CarbonLab 110%
Our CNT-based hydrogen tank developments are based on our revolutionary molecular technology.
CNTs have up to 20 times higher specific strength than carbon fibers normally used in Hydrogen tanks. This opens up for much lighter tanks, higher storage capacity as well as lower production time
We aim to design and build our CNT tank with our partners and investors to facilitate and accelerate decarbonisation of the transport sector

Within this framework, hydrogen has been singled out as central for addressing both issues and for evolving our energy systems.
Hydrogen storage is a key enabling technology for the advancement of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in applications including stationary power, portable power, and transportation. Hydrogen has the highest energy per mass of any fuel; however, its low ambient temperature density results in a low energy per unit volume, therefore requiring the development of advanced storage methods that have potential for higher energy density
The main drivers of FCEV TCO reductions are equipment costs (fuel cell system and hydrogen tank outlays) and decreasing cost of hydrogen at the pump.
Going forward, hydrogen technology will become more important, alongside electric power – and not, as is often rumoured, just for utility vehicles,” said Oliver Zipse, BMW CEO. “This is another area where we are delivering: Our small series of the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT will be released next year.
