據安迅思能源7月20日消息稱，雪佛龍美國公司通過其雪佛龍產品公司分部和全球電力和氫技術領導者康明斯公司宣布了一項諒解備忘錄，以探索建立戰略聯盟，開發氫和其他替代能源的商業可行性。

　　該諒解備忘錄為雪佛龍和康明斯提供了初步合作的框架，以實現以下四個主要目標:推進公共政策，促進將氫作為交通和工業脫碳解決方案；建立商用車輛和氫動力工業應用的市場需求；發展基礎設施，支持工業和燃料電池汽車使用氫；并在雪佛龍的一家或多家國內煉油廠探索利用康明斯電解槽和燃料電池技術的機會。

　　雪佛龍美洲燃料和潤滑油公司總裁Andy Walz表示：“雪佛龍致力于開發和提供廉價、可靠、更清潔的能源，與康明斯合作是朝著在低碳地區建立大規模業務的目標邁出的積極一步，這是對我們現有產品的補充。氫燃料只是我們投資的一種低碳解決方案，它將幫助我們的客戶降低其業務和日常生活中的碳強度。我們還投資開發和供應可再生天然氣，將可再生能源混合到我們的燃料中，在我們的煉油廠共同處理生物原料，以及減少項目，以降低我們的業務的碳強度?！?/p>

　　Chevron and Cummins form strategic collaboration on hydrogen and other alternative energy sources

　　Chevron U.S.A. Inc., through its Chevron Products Company division (Chevron), and Cummins Inc., a global power and hydrogen technologies leader, have announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore a strategic alliance to develop commercially viable business opportunities in hydrogen and other alternative energy sources, according to BusinessWire.

　　The MOU provides the framework for Chevron and Cummins to initially collaborate on four main objectives: advancing public policy that promotes hydrogen as a decarbonizing solution for transportation and industry; building market demand for commercial vehicles and industrial applications powered by hydrogen; developing infrastructure to support the use of hydrogen for industry and fuel cell vehicles; and exploring opportunities to leverage Cummins electrolyzer and fuel cell technologies at one or more of Chevron’s domestic refineries.

　　“Chevron is committed to developing and delivering affordable, reliable, ever-cleaner energy, and collaborating with Cummins is a positive step toward our goal of building a large-scale business in a lower-carbon area that is complementary to our current offerings,” said Andy Walz, president of Chevron’s Americas Fuels & Lubricants. “Hydrogen is just one lower-carbon solution we are investing in that will position our customers to reduce the carbon intensity of their businesses and everyday lives. We’ve also invested in developing and supplying renewable natural gas, blending renewables into our fuels, coprocessing biofeedstocks in our refineries, and abatement projects that will reduce the carbon intensity of our operations.”
