据安迅思能源7月20日消息称，雪佛龙美国公司通过其雪佛龙产品公司分部和全球电力和氢技术领导者康明斯公司宣布了一项谅解备忘录，以探索建立战略联盟，开发氢和其他替代能源的商业可行性。

　　该谅解备忘录为雪佛龙和康明斯提供了初步合作的框架，以实现以下四个主要目标:推进公共政策，促进将氢作为交通和工业脱碳解决方案；建立商用车辆和氢动力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；并在雪佛龙的一家或多家国内炼油厂探索利用康明斯电解槽和燃料电池技术的机会。

　　雪佛龙美洲燃料和润滑油公司总裁Andy Walz表示：“雪佛龙致力于开发和提供廉价、可靠、更清洁的能源，与康明斯合作是朝着在低碳地区建立大规模业务的目标迈出的积极一步，这是对我们现有产品的补充。氢燃料只是我们投资的一种低碳解决方案，它将帮助我们的客户降低其业务和日常生活中的碳强度。我们还投资开发和供应可再生天然气，将可再生能源混合到我们的燃料中，在我们的炼油厂共同处理生物原料，以及减少项目，以降低我们的业务的碳强度。”

　　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.”
