Amazon.com Inc. said it signed a deal with renewable fuels
technology company Infinium to begin powering the e-commerce
giant's fleet of trucks with ultra-low-carbon electrofuels
beginning in 2023.
Infinium is expected to initially supply enough electrofuels--a
fossil-based fuel alternative created with carbon waste and
renewable power--to begin powering Amazon trucks in lieu of diesel
fuel for about 5 million miles of travel a year, Amazon said.
Amazon said it plans to initially use the electrofuels in trucks
in its middle-mile fleet in Southern California. Amazon's
middle-mile fleet focuses on moving customer orders from vendors
and fulfillment centers to its sorting network and delivery
stations.
Amazon said it previously invested in Infinium through its $2
billion venture program, the Climate Pledge Fund.
"We've supported Infinium's technology through our Climate
Pledge Fund, and it's exciting to see our investment turning into
usable fuel that will help us, and others across the industry,
decarbonize transportation in the long run," said Kara Hurst,
Amazon vice president of worldwide sustainability.
Infinium plans to build one of the world's first
electrofuels-production facilities in Texas, Amazon said.
