Amazon Sustainability Pilot Program | MIT Solve svg]:size-10 text-[rgb(var(--header-nav-item-color))]"> Amazon Sustainability Pilot Program How can innovative climate technology in material handling, lower-carbon fuels, or waste optimization accelerate Amazon’s path to net-zero carbon by 2040? As a co-founder of The Climate Pledge, Amazon has a goal to achieve net-zero carbon across their global operations by 2040.
Achieving this ambitious goal requires breakthrough technologies that can be validated and scaled within Amazon's complex North American supply chain. The Amazon Sustainability Pilot Program offers climate tech innovators a unique opportunity to validate and pilot their innovative solutions to help advance environmental sustainability across Amazon's buildings and transportation operations in North America.
Amazon’s North America (NA) Operations enable the behind-the-scenes work required to move packages to customers, covering buildings where packages are processed—fulfillment centers, sortation facilities, delivery stations, and more—and the transportation networks that connect these facilities and deliver to customers.
This call for proposals seeks technologies ready for real-world validation, with the potential for integration across Amazon's operational ecosystem. Amazon's North America Operations span complex logistics and transportation networks where validated pilot projects are essential before technologies can scale.
While Amazon is already making progress in areas such as renewable energy, electric delivery vehicles, and more sustainable packaging, emerging technologies from climate tech innovators of all types—startups, scale-ups, established companies, and more— will be critical to achieving the 2040 net-zero goal.
Technical Due Diligence and/or Pilots Learn who is eligible and how your solution will be evaluated for potential pilot deployment within Amazon’s North America operations. This call for proposals focuses on three priority areas where innovative solutions can help create immediate impact and long-term transformation. Learn more about the focus areas.
Material Handling Equipment (MHE) or Conveyance Decarbonization Hardware and software solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of material handling equipment (MHE) and conveyance systems in warehouse, fulfillment, sortation, or delivery operations while maintaining associate safety, ergonomics, process quality, reliability, and cost-effective throughput.
Lower-Carbon Fuels for Hard-to-Decarbonize Transportation Applications Breakthrough lower-carbon fuel solutions for hard-to-abate transportation applications like long-haul trucking, maritime, and aviation, achieving 90% carbon intensity (CI) reduction compared to conventional fuels and with a pathway to price parity with conventional fuels before 2040.
Cost-effective technologies addressing operational and inventory waste prevention and diversion across Amazon facilities, from upstream materials innovation to downstream sorting and management. We welcome transformative technologies that don't fit neatly into the above categories but demonstrate clear sustainability benefits and business value for Amazon's North America Operations.
Wildcard proposals must articulate a compelling use case and measurable impact at scale.
