COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cummins Inc. and Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, announced a memorandum of understanding to leverage their positioning 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 gasoline blends, biodiesel, and renewable diesel. This collaboration is intended to encourage commercial and industrial adoption in North America, according to the company.
“At Cummins, we are working to bring our Destination Zero strategy to life, and we recognize we can’t do this alone,” explained Jennifer Rumsey, President/CEO, Cummins Inc. “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.”
Cummins and Chevron each have contributed to the research, development, and global deployment of alternative fuels innovation, systems, and technologies and will work together on enabling the commercial development at the scale of alternative fuels production, transportation, and delivery systems for industrial and commercial markets, with target consumption by transportation vehicles of the type manufactured by Cummins, per a Cummins press release.
Workstreams in the new collaboration focus on hydrogen, natural gas, and other alternative lower carbon intensity fuels such as renewable gasoline blend, biodiesel, renewable diesel, compressed natural gas, and other liquid renewables to expand commercial adoption.
