Amazon India, HPCL collaborated for biofuel adoption for long-haul transportation

Amazon India and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) have forged a strategic partnership to accelerate the development and adoption of low-carbon fuels (LCFs) for long-haul transportation in India. This collaboration will focus on increasing the supply and demand for renewable alternatives such as renewable diesel and compressed biogas, which offer substantial reductions in carbon intensity compared to conventional fossil fuels.

The alliance marks a significant milestone in Amazon's global commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2040, while simultaneously supporting India's national goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

The tie-up aims to boost the development and adoption of low-carbon fuels from agricultural and industrial waste, starting with the cities of Visakhapatnam and Bahadurgarh. Eventually, fuelling hubs and mobile refueling stations will be developed across India.

This collaboration was marked by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

The two companies will conduct a pilot to test fuels in Amazon’s long-haul transport vehicles and explore the possibilities of fuelling hubs and mobile refueling stations for easy access to LCFs. They will also engage with government bodies and industry think tanks to support policies that promote the scaling of LFCs in India.
