Scope 1 emissions include direct emissions owned or controlled by an entity. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling. “Cummins has benefited greatly from its participation in the department's Better Buildings, Better Plants Challenge to reduce our environmental footprint,” said Mark Dhennin, the company’s Director of Energy and

Internal combustion engines using traditional and alternative fuels are an integral part of life in all parts of the world. They are almost universally used in motor vehicles of all kinds, in power generation, and more. Traditionally, internal combustion engines run on liquid fuels. These fuels are distilled from petroleum. Think gasoline, diesel, kerosene or heavy fuel oil.  What are alte

Our battery technology will be powering public transportation in Canada! Today, Canadian bus manufacturer Letenda announced that Cummins has been selected to power their new battery electric demonstrator vehicle, the Electrip® transit bus. The Electrip® is a 30-foot, zero-emissions transit bus that is expected be unveiled in early 2022.  Specifically designed for the North American region,

What is power-to-x? “Power-to-x” refers to a series of techniques and pathways allowing to convert, store and utilize renewable electrical energy. Power-to-x is specifically applicable when there is an excess of renewable electricity produced from solar or wind resources. Rather than be wasted—the specific industry term for this is “curtailed”—the excess electricity is used productively. The “x

When you think of a machine powered by Cummins, our engines working hand-in-hand with wind power to move a vessel is likely not the first thing that comes to mind. Nevertheless, the Cummins Marine 4.5 engine is on course to set sail next summer powering the sailing superyacht.  The vessel is currently under construction in Cape Town, South Africa, and will be ready to house our smallest ma

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today it has been accepted into two influential groups advocating for climate action ahead of the global COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland (U.K.) starting Oct. 31. The Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign encourages companies to set robust emission reduction goals for greenhouse gases (GHGs) using science-based targets aligned to the 2015 Paris Climate

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been aggressively reducing diesel engine emissions over the last 25 years, and Cummins Inc. has committed to developing the technology to meet these requirements. These regulations have been embraced within the oil & gas industry, as the sector continues the journey to reduce its environmental impact.  The EPA’s latest Tier 4 final emission

With the market for electric vehicles (EVs) rapidly growing as customers rush to meet global targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality, the increasing number of EVs pose a waste-management challenge. These lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries offer a zero-emissions transportation solution, but they don’t last forever. So, what happens to them once they’ve reached the end of

Across the globe are renowned urban quarters – cities within cities that capture the hearts of travelers with their rich history and architecture. New Orleans has the historic French Quarter, Cuba has New Havana and now Esslingen, Germany, has the world’s first largely climate-neutral urban quarter powered by Cummins electrolyzers. This urban quarter is considered a "lighthouse" project, a smal

In 2016, Cummins partnered with a European railway equipment manufacturer, to engineer, supply, and integrate the hydrogen fuel cell solution in its trains. The trains entered commercial service in 2018 and can carry up to 150 seated passengers and 150 standing passengers. There is growing interest from several European countries to use the trains for non-electrified tracks. While many alternat
