<\/p>\n

Company is going all-electric and funding a new Yale center for applied research focused on carbon-negative technologies.<\/h1>\n

FedEx Corp.<\/strong> announced this week\u00a0that it wants\u00a0to achieve\u00a0carbon-neutral operations<\/strong> globally by 2040<\/strong>. The company laid out three key areas it will focus on via a $2B investment<\/strong>: vehicle electrification, sustainable energy<\/strong>, and carbon sequestration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"This includes a pledge of $100 million<\/strong> to Yale University<\/strong> to help establish\u00a0the\u00a0Yale\u00a0Center for Natural Carbon Capture<\/a><\/strong>, which will be focused on developing natural solutions for reducing atmospheric carbon.<\/p>\n

Key\u00a0steps\u00a0toward reaching\u00a0the FedEx carbon neutral goal\u00a0include:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vehicle\u00a0Electrification:\u00a0By 2040<\/strong>,\u00a0the entire FedEx\u00a0parcel\u00a0pickup and delivery (PUD)\u00a0fleet will be\u00a0zero-emission\u00a0electric vehicles. This will be accomplished through phased programs to replace existing vehicles. For example, by 2025<\/strong>,\u00a050%<\/strong> of FedEx Express global\u00a0PUD\u00a0vehicle purchases will be\u00a0electric, rising to 100%\u00a0<\/strong>of all purchases\u00a0by 2030.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fuel Conservation and\u00a0Aircraft\u00a0Modernization:<\/strong>\u00a0FedEx will build on initiatives designed to reduce fuel consumption in\u00a0its\u00a0aircraft. Since 2012,\u00a0the\u00a0FedEx Fuel Sense and\u00a0Aircraft\u00a0Modernization programs have saved a combined 1.43 billion gallons of jet fuel and avoided over 13.5 million<\/strong> metric tons of\u00a0carbon dioxide (CO2)\u00a0emissions<\/strong>, it said.<\/p>\n

Facilities:<\/strong>\u00a0FedEx<\/strong> will continue efforts to invest in efficiency<\/strong> and renewables<\/strong> at its more than 5000 facilities worldwide.<\/p>\n

Natural Carbon Sequestration:<\/strong>\u00a0FedEx\u00a0funding will\u00a0help to\u00a0establish\u00a0the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture<\/strong> to\u00a0support applied research into\u00a0natural carbon sequestration solutions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, the company said it will work with customers to help them decarbonize their supply chains<\/strong> and that it will invest in alternative fuels for its aircraft and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Yale Center researchers<\/strong> will develop methods<\/strong> that build on natural carbon storage systems<\/strong>, including biological ecosystems and the geological carbon cycle, improving, where possible<\/strong>, how quickly carbon can be absorbed<\/strong>, how much can be contained<\/strong>,\u00a0and how long it can be stored.<\/strong> Through these efforts, Yale scientists aim to create a portfolio of carbon removal strategies<\/strong> that have impacts on a global scale.<\/p>\n
