据Upstream网站9月9日报道，美国超级巨头雪佛龙(Chevron)与美国重型设备制造商卡特彼勒(Caterpillar)将在氢能源项目上展开合作，在美国各地演示氢燃料火车头和相关的氢燃料基础设施。
两家公司目前已经签署了一项合作协议，在运输和固定动力应用中开发氢能源示范项目，包括主要动力设备。
两家公司将研究氢燃料作为铁路和船舶以及主要动力设备传统燃料替代品的可行性和效能。
雪佛龙和卡特彼勒还将立即开始在美国各地演示氢燃料机车和相关的氢燃料基础设施，卡特彼勒的子公司Progress Rail将为其提供协助。
雪佛龙新能源公司总裁杰夫·古斯塔夫森表示:“通过雪佛龙新能源公司，雪佛龙正在寻求机会，为更难实现减少碳排放的重型运输和工业部门创造对氢燃料的需求——以及氢燃料使用所需的技术。”
