Infinium to provide ultra-low carbon electrofuels to Amazon trucking fleet starting in 2023

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022

While the new agreement is focused on providing Infinium Electrofuels for Amazon’s middle mile fleet, Electrofuels can also be used to power airplanes and used as an ultra-low carbon fuel alternative in the production of plastics and other industrial materials.

The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology. Microorganisms have evolved a bewildering array of techniques to obtain nutrients from their surrounding environments.
