Amazon Signs Deal for Green Hydrogen to Reduce Carbon Footprint

Amazon signed a deal with Plug Power to supply 10,950 tons a year of green hydrogen for its transportation and building operations, beginning in 2025, said Amazon Thursday. It will start to use green hydrogen to replace gray hydrogen, diesel and other fossil fuels as it works to decarbonize its operations, toward a goal of being net-zero carbon by 2040. The Plug Power contract will provide enough annual power for 30,000 forklifts or 800 heavy-duty trucks used in long-haul transportation, Amazon said.
