Chevron collaborates with Caterpillar on hydrogen demonstration projects
Chevron and Caterpillar have announced their agreement to collaborate on the development of demonstration projects which aim to confirm the feasibility of hydrogen as a commercially viable fuel-alternative, for use in heavy-duty transportation and stationary power applications.
Chevron + ExxonMobil
Industry supports large-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage in Houston
Chevron, ExxonMobil and nine other companies have expressed interest in the wide-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage technology at the facilities they operate in Houston, driving momentum on lowering industrial emission in the Houston area.
INPEX
INPEX to launch inaugural green bonds
As part of its net-zero strategy, INPEX has announced it will issue its inaugural green bonds. The use of funds raised through the issuance of green bonds will be restricted to businesses and operations that help improve the environment, such as the development of renewable energies.
Repsol
Repsol in green hydrogen push
Repsol will start up the first electrolyzer in the Spanish region of the Basque Country in the second half of 2022, to produce renewable hydrogen at its Petronor refinery. The facility will have a capacity of 2.5MW. The project also includes construction of the necessary infrastructures for the use and distribution of the renewable hydrogen produced.
Woodside Energy
Woodside joins initiative to drive hydrogen bus adoption in South Korea
Woodside and five other parties have joined forces to establish HyStation, a company aiming to construct and operate hydrogen refuelling stations for public transport bus fleets in South Korea. The joint initiative will help accelerate the transition of buses from diesel to hydrogen, which, as heavy vehicles that require short refuelling times, are well suited to hydrogen fuel cells.
