Alternative Transport Fuels

Chevron Technology Ventures, a subsidiary of Chevron, has led our alternative transport fuels and energy technology development, primarily biofuels and hydrogen technology. Two primary goals of this work are to determine whether these technologies can meet our standards for quality, reliability and efficiency and whether they can pass a market-commerciality and economics test.

As a transportation fuel, hydrogen can be made from a variety of conventional and renewable energy sources. However, there are significant challenges inherent in making hydrogen commercially viable. We will continue to share accurate information about the costs and benefits of hydrogen technology with policy makers and other interested parties.

Chevron is taking a practical approach to hydrogen technology by developing public-private collaborations, commissioning hydrogen demonstration stations and implementing technologies in real-world applications. We are engaged in numerous projects that are designed to provide valuable experience designing and operating hydrogen fuel systems.
