‘Electrofuels’ that reduce Amazon's fleet emissions

Amazon has a goal of having 50% of its shipments being made net-zero carbon by 2030. In 2021, more than 100 million packages were delivered to customers with zero-emissions vehicles and the company said that number will scale.

One of the retail and logistics giant's well-known initiatives is its pledge to purchase 100,000 Rivian electric delivery vehicles by 2030. Initial vehicles were delivered and put into operation in July 2022. In September, Amazon announced another initiative that by next year will replace diesel fuel in its internal-combustion delivery vehicles with ultra-low carbon ‘electrofuels.’ The supplier of that fuel to Amazon is Sacramento, Calif.-based Infinium.
