據世界能源2月25日消息：到2026年，雪佛龍和巖谷將在加州共同開發30個新的氫氣站。

2月24日，這兩家公司確認了作為新協議的一部分的堅定承諾，該協議將分別提高輕型和重型車輛的氫燃料可用性。

每個燃料站點都將位于雪佛龍品牌的零售地點，其中一部分將從該石油公司的里士滿煉油廠獲得氫氣供應，未來將從北加州的試點項目獲得氫氣生產。

巖谷將運營和維護氫燃料站，并提供氫供應和運輸物流服務。

雪佛龍美國燃料和潤滑油總裁Andy Walz說:“雪佛龍相信氫有潛力幫助降低交通部門和其他難以脫碳行業的碳排放。”

“我們很高興能與巖谷合作，推進從生產到消費者購買的整個氫運輸價值鏈，以幫助我們的客戶降低其生命周期運輸的碳強度。”

巖谷美國公司董事長兼首席執行官Joseph Cappello補充道:“巖谷和雪佛龍之間的廣泛合作表明了我們支持運輸脫碳的共同愿景和承諾。雪佛龍和巖谷將共同建立加州最強大、垂直整合的供應和基礎設施生態系統之一，這是一個可以復制到其他市場的模式。”

Chevron, Iwatani to Develop 30 Hydrogen Stations in California by 2026

Chevron and Iwatani will co-develop 30 new hydrogen stations in California by 2026.

The duo today (Feb 24) confirmed the strong commitment as part of a new agreement that will boost the availability of hydrogen fuel to both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, respectively.

Each fuelling site will be located at Chevron-branded retail locations, with a proportion of the proposed sites set to receive hydrogen supply from the oil company’s Richmond refinery and future hydrogen production from pilots in Northern California.

Iwatani will operate and maintain the hydrogen fuelling sites and provide hydrogen supply and transportation logistics services.

Andy Walz, President of Americas Fuels and Lubricants at Chevron, said, “Chevron believes that hydrogen has the potential to assist in lowering the carbon emissions of the transportation sector and other hard-to-decarbonise industries.

“We are excited to work with Iwatani to advance the entire hydrogen transportation value chain from production to consumer purchase in order to help our customers lower their lifecycle transportation carbon intensities.”

Joseph Cappello, Chairman and CEO of Iwatani Corporation of America, added, “This extensive collaboration between Iwatani and Chevron demonstrates our shared vision and commitment to support the decarbonisation of transportation.

“Together, Chevron and Iwatani will establish one of the most robust, vertically integrated supply and infrastructure ecosystems in California and is a model that can be replicated to other markets.”
