据能源转型新闻2021年4月21日伦敦报道，美国第2大石油和天然气公司雪佛龙公司4月21日表示，该公司已与日本汽车制造商丰田公司签署了一份谅解备忘录，探讨在美国开发“商业上可行的、大规模的”氢燃料业务。
两家公司在一份声明中说，他们将调查轻型和重型燃料电池电动汽车的市场潜力，以及满足这类需求的供应选择。
双方还将在公共政策发展方面进行合作，以支持氢基础设施，并探索氢动力运输和储存方面的研发。
雪佛龙美国燃料与润滑油总裁安迪·沃尔兹表示：“建立氢能源战略联盟是一个在低碳领域建立大规模业务的机会，这是对我们现有产品的补充。”
沃尔兹说：“这个机会可以利用我们的市场地位、资产、技术和组织能力，支持我们努力推进低碳未来。”
丰田汽车北美执行副总裁鲍勃·卡特说：“丰田公司在开发氢燃料电池电力技术方面的数十年经验与雪佛龙公司在能源领域的丰富资源相结合，有潜力为消费者和企业创造新的交通选择，推动我们朝着碳中和的目标前进。”
4月20日最近一次评估氢的生产成本(碱性电解，包括南加州的资本支出)为每公斤2.47美元。通过蒸汽甲烷重整(包括资本支出，不含碳捕获和储存)生产的氢被估价为1.23美元/公斤。

Chevron, Toyota explore alliance to develop commercial US hydrogen businesses
Oil and gas company Chevron has signed a memorandum of understanding with carmaker Toyota to explore the development of "commercially viable, large-scale" hydrogen businesses in the US, the companies said April 21.
The two would investigate the market potential for light-duty and heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles, along with the supply options for such demand, they said in a statement.
They would also collaborate on public policy developments to support hydrogen infrastructure and explore research and development in hydrogen powered transportation and storage.
"Working towards a strategic alliance on hydrogen presents an opportunity to build a large-scale business in a low-carbon area that is complementary to our current offerings," Chevron's Americas Fuels & Lubricants president Andy Walz said.
"This opportunity leverages our market position, assets, technology, and organizational capability and supports our efforts to help advance a lower-carbon future," Walz said.
"Combining Toyota's decades of experience in developing hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric technology with Chevron's deep resources in the energy sector has the potential to create new transportation choices for both consumers and businesses that move us toward our goal of carbon neutrality," Toyota Motor North America executive vice president Bob Carter said.
Last assessed the production cost of hydrogen (alkaline electrolysis, southern California including capex) at $2.47/kg April 20. Hydrogen produced via steam methane reforming (including capex, without carbon capture and storage) was assessed at $1.23/kg.
