Infinium, a pioneer in the production of commercially available ultra-low carbon eFuels, has announced a strategic funding partnership with Brookfield Asset Management. This partnership signifies a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) and reducing the aviation industry’s carbon footprint.
Brookfield has committed to investing over $200 million in Infinium and its Project Roadrunner, a state-of-the-art eFuels production facility under development in West Texas. The investment also includes the potential for an additional $850 million for the deployment of other Infinium eFuels projects worldwide. This investment marks Brookfield’s inaugural direct investment in sustainable aviation fuel and is a testament to the growing demand for low-carbon alternatives in the aviation sector.
Infinium’s eFuels, including eSAF, are produced through a proprietary process that utilizes water, waste CO2, and renewable energy to create ultra-low carbon fuels. These fuels can be seamlessly integrated into existing aircraft engines and infrastructure, offering a practical and effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company’s eFuels portfolio also encompasses eDiesel and eNaphtha, which can be utilized in long-haul trucking, maritime applications, and plastics manufacturing.
Infinium’s partnership with American Airlines further solidifies the company’s commitment to meeting the industry’s demand for sustainable aviation fuel. Under this agreement, American Airlines will purchase commercial volumes of Infinium eSAF starting in 2026, ensuring the offtake for Project Roadrunner and providing the airline with a pathway towards achieving its ambitious sustainability goals.
The investment from Brookfield, coupled with the previous commitment from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, demonstrates the growing confidence in Infinium’s innovative approach to decarbonizing the global supply chain. Infinium’s eFuels are poised to play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable future for the transportation and manufacturing industries.
