Cummins Inc.

COVID-19, for all its negative impact, sped up the utilization of advanced technologies to do our jobs, to communicate, and to do things we used to do physically and in-person prior to the pandemic.  In the Cummins spirit of turning challenges into opportunities, the company installed more than 80 collaborative robots at its global manufacturing sites, is using augmented/hands-free re

With an obligation to our customers and our planet to change how we view energy, we released our PLANET 2050 sustainability strategy. This strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas and air emissions in line with experts' recommendations, use natural resources in the most sustainable way possible and help communities address major environmental challenges.  With the addition of fuel cell and

Cummins is locating one of the world's largest electrolyzer plants for the production of green hydrogen in Spain. The 22,000-square meter facility will produce the world's largest electrolyzer systems, with an initial production capacity of 500 MW/year and is scalable to more than 1 GW/year. A site selection search is underway within Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, with the facility expected to open

The world is racing to drastically lower greenhouse gas emissions and limit the earth's warming to 1.5 degrees from pre-industrial levels. To reach this goal, 189 parties, representing the producers of 83 percent of global emissions, have ratified the Paris Climate Agreement. In addition, 66 countries have now stated their intentions to be carbon neutral by 2050, with several passing these targets

While battery electric vehicles get a lot of press in driving a zero-emissions future, fuel cell vehicles are proving to be a strong part of the mix required to electrify transportation at a mass scale worldwide. This is especially true in markets that require long-range and demanding duty cycles with minimum downtime, like trains, buses and trucks. At just a fraction of a battery's weight, hydrog

There is no mistaking the reality that hurricane season is getting more active year over year. That also means the potential for you to find yourself in the path of any strength storm is increasing too.  Earlier this year, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center announced that they were updating their 30-year historical hurricane activity reference period to 1991-2020 from 1981-2010. The signific

The Mining industry continues to apply various methods to improve its financial performance. Most recently, diversity and inclusion became two of the methods many miners turn to. Historically, the linkage between improved diversity and inclusion, and better financial performance has been more theoretical than quantifiable. Meanwhile, over the last decade, many companies have been able to demonstra

Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to store renewable energy for a flexible, low-carbon power supply. Hydrogen offers a solution. Using renewable sources such as wind, to produce hydrogen emits no greenhouse gasses (green hydrogen). Wind energy can be converted into hydrogen using an electrolyzer and utilized in several ways - from fuel-cell hydrogen trucks, buses and trains, to ships

With their environmentally conscious footprint located worldwide, each site is focused on building the future of power. Whether that's assembling battery modules, building the next generation of fuel cell stacks, innovating electrolyzers or developing solid oxide capabilities, our sites and employees are the heartbeat that keeps New Power innovations moving towards a greener future. What they're d

Happy Earth Day! On this planet-friendly day, we are celebrating Cummins electrochemists because this week is also Chemists Celebrate Earth Week. CCEW was created to co-exist with Earth Day and champion the positive role that chemistry plays in our world. Chemists have long promoted a better world through recycling, cleaner-burning fuels and green chemistry initiatives.  Electrochemistry l

In February 2021, a massive winter storm plunged the Texas region into a virtual snow globe. Not only was the state unprepared to remove the snow that blocked roads and access, but the grid supplying Texan's with critical electricity couldn't handle it either.  In the days and weeks that followed, millions of people wanted to know who was to blame for the massive outages that have been att

For hydrogen power, the sky is no longer the limit - it's the starting point. With new hydrogen air applications, hydrogen-powered aviation has proven is within reach and Cummins is a part of it. The world's first hydrogen-powered aircraft, powered by Cummins fuel cells, was unveiled at the Stuttgart Airport in Germany this past December. Called the DLR-HY4, the four-seat airplane has successfu
