据天然气加工2021年9月10日报道，美国第2大石油公司雪佛龙公司日前与全球最大的综合能源和大宗商品公司之一的摩科瑞能源贸易公司(摩科瑞)签署了最终协议，组建一家合资企业，拥有并运营美国天然气公司(ANG)及其遍布美国的60个压缩天然气(CNG)站网络。
雪佛龙公司正在美国建立一个大规模的上下游一体化的可再生天然气业务。 通过与Brightmark和加州生物能源公司的合作，雪佛龙公司正在开发利用全国各地的牛奶蒸煮器生产可再生天然气的项目。 该合资企业的成立将使雪佛龙公司的可再生天然气价值链迅速增长，补充其此前宣布的计划，即到2025年前开设30多个雪佛龙品牌的CNG加注站。
雪佛龙公司美洲燃料与润滑油总裁Andy Walz表示：“雪佛龙公司承诺，到2025年前，可再生天然气产量将比2020年增加10倍，这是我们高回报、低碳战略的一部分。”“此次收购将推进我们的可再生天然气业务，为希望减少碳足迹的客户提供支持。”
摩科瑞公司首席投资官Brian a . Falik表示：“摩科瑞很高兴与雪佛龙公司和美国天然气公司创始人Andrew West合作，共同发展美国天然气的燃料网络，并继续为中型和重型汽车市场提供一流的脱碳解决方案。：”雪佛龙公司在客户服务方面的良好声誉，以及他们对能源转型投资的志同道合的承诺，使他们成为扩大美国天然气足迹的完美合作伙伴。“
