Chevron eyes energy transition
Chevron New Energies will help the firm decarbonise and develop new lines of business to accelerate the transition, incoming vice-president of hydrogen tells Hydrogen Economist
Chevron New Energies was established last year to help the firm achieve its goals of cutting 30mn t CO₂ from its operations by 2028 using renewable fuels, hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Chevron will aim to grow low-carbon hydrogen production to 150,000t/yr by 2030 to supply industrial, power and heavy-duty transport customers with a mixture of blue and green forms of the fuel. The firm produces 1mn t/yr of grey hydrogen. Hydrogen Economist talks to Austin Knight, incoming vice-president of hydrogen at Chevron New Energies, about his new role.
