Cummins and Chevron on August 10 announced a memorandum of understanding to capitalise on their complementary positions in hydrogen, natural gas, and other lower carbon fuel value chains.
The announcement expands the two companies’ previous strategic collaboration on hydrogen and renewable natural gas and is expected to encompass other liquid renewable fuels, such as renewable petrol blends, biodiesel, and renewable diesel. This collaboration is intended to encourage commercial and industrial adoption in North America.
“At Cummins, we are working to bring our Destination Zero strategy to life, and we recognise we can’t do this alone,” said Jennifer Rumsey, CEO, Cummins. “Through Accelera by Cummins, we have leading zero-emissions technologies for commercial and industrial applications, and we continue to offer a broad portfolio of engine-based solutions that reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions today. By collaborating strategically with Chevron, we plan to improve access to fuel and infrastructure for our customers, helping grow the availability of alternative and renewable fuels while reducing emissions.”
“Achieving a lower carbon future that serves all people requires ambitious innovations and pragmatic solutions that deliver measurable results,” said Chevron’s president of Americas Products Andy Walz. “Collaborations like this one with Cummins are intended to make energy and global supply chains more affordable and reliable while helping commercial fleets who use our products and Cummins’ equipment to advance a lower carbon world. No one company or industry can go at it alone – together with Cummins, we aim to deliver progress today.”
