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.

Danielle Lewis discovered her curiosity for math and science at a very young age. So, it was no surprise that when it came time to choose a career path, she decided to enroll in a dual-degree engineering program with Oakwood University and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, AL. Shortly after, she joined Cummins in 2016 and entered the Engineering Development Program. Through her experience i

Pad drilling has been around for over a decade across various drilling sites, and has already revolutionized drilling operations and the oil and gas industry overall. Its initial benefits around avoidance of cost associated with moving the drilling equipment was later coupled with increased hydrocarbon production, thanks to the ability to drill in batches. Today, pad drilling is the norm across ma

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.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are not a new concept in every industry. The emissions regulation option first appeared in the on-highway space in 2012 and is slowly creeping into the industrial spaces. In the Oil & Gas industry, Cummins has made the switch to supporting EPA Tier 4 emissions standards by implementing SCR systems.  But making this advancement in such a matur

Growing up, Kim would accompany her father to construction sites and be fascinated by how things were built from scratch. She was so captivated by it in fact that when her dad gifted her a robotic dog as a young child, she took it completely apart and rebuilt it. That may not have been the toy dog's intended purpose, but it sparked a passion in Kim for reverse engineering. A Tennessee native, K

Many of us have followed the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was charged with murdering George Floyd in May 2020. While yesterday’s guilty verdict brings a measure of justice for Mr. Floyd’s family, it will not address ongoing systemic racism and violence against Black people across the U.S.  This violence is an institutional problem and our communities are hu

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

The group is calling for aggressive steps to address the country’s climate-related challenges, including an economy-wide price on carbon to use the power of the market to help achieve the country’s carbon reduction goals in a “simple, coherent and efficient manner.” “Climate action is consistent with Cummins’ mission of making people’s lives better by powering a more prosperous world,” said Cum
