In powertrain manufacturing, process heating is often seen as little more than a fixed cost and heavy carbon burden. For Cummins, however, it represents a powerful opportunity. With thermal processes accounting for nearly one-third of it's energy use, Cummins is reimagining how heat is generated and recovered to drive:
Meaningful emissions reductions
Improving operational performance
Supply chain resiliency
In this session, Bryan Russell, senior director of the MEMA Center for Sustainability and Balaji Sampathnarayanan, sustainability strategy & environmental compliance leader of Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems, discussed how decarbonizing process heat can accelerate progress toward 2030 targets and redefine what’s possible for manufacturers across the supply chain.
