据钻机地带8月11日报道，雪佛龙公司(Chevron Corp.)和康明斯公司(Cummins Inc.)达成了一项协议，将通过提高低排放燃料的产量和推广使用低排放燃料的技术来扩大低排放燃料市场。
周四宣布的谅解备忘录是对2021年签署的谅解备忘录的延续，该备忘录旨在促进氢和天然气燃料行业的发展。这两家公司在一份联合新闻稿中说，他们现在已经扩大了合作，包括其他低碳燃料，如液体可再生能源。
声明表示：“康明斯和雪佛龙各自为替代燃料创新、系统和技术的研究、开发和全球部署积极助力，并将共同努力，为工业和商业市场实现替代燃料生产、运输和交付系统的大规模商业开发，目标是康明斯制造的运输车辆的消费。”
“新合作的工作流程侧重于氢、天然气和其他可替代的低碳强度燃料，如可再生汽油混合物、生物柴油、可再生柴油、压缩天然气和其他液体可再生能源，以扩大商业应用。”
康明斯首席执行官珍妮弗·拉姆齐(Jennifer ramsey)表示，与雪佛龙的协议是这家燃料和发电技术制造商到2050年实现净零排放战略的一部分。
拉姆齐在一份声明中表示：“在康明斯，我们正在努力实现‘零排放目标’战略，我们认识到我们无法独自完成这项任务。”
康明斯在2022年1月25日的一份介绍该战略的新闻稿中表示，“零目标”是康明斯实现碳中和的路线图，“通过将技术就绪程度与基础设施就绪程度相匹配，减少从油井到车轮的排放”。新闻稿称，“零排放”的目标是氢气增长、内燃机减排和电网脱碳。
3月8日，康明斯投资15亿美元推出了一个名为Accelera的零排放产品品牌。
康明斯在宣布该品牌时表示：“Accelera正在推进一系列零排放解决方案，包括氢燃料电池、电池、电动轴、牵引系统和电解槽，为从商业运输到化工生产的各种行业提供可持续动力。”“作为零部件供应商和集成商，Accelera正在为公共汽车、卡车、火车、建筑设备、固定电力和碳密集型工业过程等应用脱碳。”
拉姆齐在周四与雪佛龙的媒体声明中表示：“通过与雪佛龙的战略合作，我们计划改善客户获得燃料和基础设施的途径，帮助增加替代燃料和可再生燃料的可用性，同时减少排放。”
雪佛龙美国产品市场总裁Andy Walz表示：“与康明斯这样的合作旨在使能源和全球供应链更加实惠和可靠，同时帮助使用我们产品和康明斯设备的商业车队推进低碳世界。”
正如2021年7月15日共同宣布的那样，早期的谅解备忘录涉及“推进公共政策，促进氢作为运输和工业的脱碳解决方案；建立以氢为动力的商用车和工业应用的市场需求；发展基础设施，支持工业和燃料电池汽车使用氢；并探索在雪佛龙的一家或多家国内炼油厂利用康明斯电解槽和燃料电池技术的机会”。

Chevron, Cummins Expand Collab on Lower-Emission Fuels
Chevron Corp. and Cummins Inc. have entered a deal to grow the market for lower-emission fuels by raising the production of such energy sources and promoting the deployment of technologies that consume them.
The memorandum of understanding announced Thursday follows an earlier one in 2021 that aimed to promote the hydrogen and natural gas fuel sectors. They have now expanded that cooperation to include other lower-carbon fuels such as liquid renewables, the USA companies said in a joint press release.
"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 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", the announcement said.
"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."
Jennifer Rumsey, chief executive of Cummins, said the pacts with Chevron are part of the fuel and power generation tech maker's strategy for achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
"At Cummins, we are working to bring our Destination Zero strategy to life, and we recognize we can’t do this alone”, Rumsey said in a statement.
Destination Zero, Cummins' roadmap toward carbon neutrality, "reduces well-to-wheels emissions by matching technology readiness with infrastructure readiness", the company said in a press release January 25, 2022 introducing the strategy. Destination Zero targets hydrogen growth, emissions reduction from internal combustion engines and grid decarbonization, the release said.
On March 8 Cummins launched a zero-emission products brand called Accelera, a $1.5 billion investment.
"Accelera is advancing a range of zero-emissions solutions, including hydrogen fuel cells, batteries, e-axles, traction systems and electrolyzers, to sustainably power a variety of industries from commercial transportation to chemical production", Cummins said announcing the brand. "Both a components supplier and integrator, Accelera is decarbonizing applications like buses, trucks, trains, construction equipment, stationary power and carbon intense industrial processes."
Rumsey said in Thursday's media statement with Chevron, "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.”
Chevron president of Americas products Andy Walz said, "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".
The earlier memorandum of understanding involved, as jointly announced July 15, 2021, "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".
