Amazon will start testing ultra-low carbon electrofuels for deliveries in 2023
as part of its goal to reach net-zero carbon by 2040."We’ve been developing this technology for the better part of a decade, and we expect our electrofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 95 percent over traditional fossil fuel," said Infinium CEO Robert Schuetzle in a statement.
As part of this, Infinium plans to build one of the first-ever electrofuel production facilities in Texas, using renewable-generated hydrogen and around 18,000 tons of recycled carbon waste per year. A quarter of greenhouse gas emissions are created by the transportation industry, Amazon notes. Infinium's e-fuels supposedly help combat that by combining green hydrogen with captured CO2 that would otherwise be emitted by industrial plants. The CO2 and hydrogen are combined into"syngas," which is then converted to liquid fuels via catalysts. The resulting"drop-in" fuel can be used directly in existing, unmodified diesel vans.
