Utilities must focus on key energy transitiontechnology gaps to support grid stability

August 30, 2022

Utilities must focus on key energy
New renewable generation capacity is important
as utilities retire existing coal plants. But often these
new solar and wind resources are far from urban
or industrial centers where the energy is needed,
presenting transmission and distribution challenges.
Utilities must find reliable methods to incorporate
the energy mix from these green energy sources and
maintain grid flexibility, while balancing supply
and demand.

Reaching Net-Zero Carbon by 2040: Decarbonizing and Neutralizing the Use Phase of Connected Devices

whitePaper | June 15, 2022

As part of our Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, Amazon is working to measure, reduce, and neutralize the emissions across every part of our business. For Amazon Devices, we are integrating carbon reduction strategies across the life cycle of our devices, including materials and manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life phases. This paper focuses on the use phase, which accounts for 10-15% of the overall carbon footprint of rechargeable battery-operated devices and 60-80% of the footprint of plugged-in devices. We believe this phase is an important area of focus, since consumer electronics will always require some amount of electricity to operate. As the world becomes more connected even beyond consumer electronics, we believe that connectivity in itself allows us to rethink how we approach use phase decarbonization for all connected devices.
