Infinium, a pioneer in the production of commercially available ultra-low carbon eFuels, has announced a strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management, a global investment giant. This partnership will fuel the growth of Infinium’s eFuels platform, which includes eSAF, a next-generation sustainable aviation fuel.
Infinium’s eFuels are designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, boasting up to a 90% reduction in lifecycle emissions compared to traditional fuels. Brookfield has committed to invest over $200 million in Infinium and its Project Roadrunner, a production facility under development in West Texas. The investment also includes a potential additional $850 million for future eFuels projects across the globe. This investment marks Brookfield’s first direct foray into the sustainable aviation fuel market, demonstrating their confidence in the potential of this innovative technology.
The investment will be facilitated through Brookfield’s Global Transition Fund (BGTF I). Brookfield will also take the lead in Infinium’s Series C Preferred Stock offering. This partnership highlights the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the aviation industry. Airlines are increasingly committed to reducing their environmental impact, and eSAF offers a viable pathway to achieving these goals.
Infinium’s eSAF is produced through a unique process that combines water, waste CO2, and renewable energy to create ultra-low carbon fuels, including eSAF, eDiesel, and eNaphtha. These eFuels are drop-in replacements for traditional fossil-based fuels, meaning they can be used without any modifications to engines or infrastructure. This makes them readily adaptable for use in planes, ships, trucks, and even manufacturing processes.
The partnership between Infinium and Brookfield will enable the expansion of Project Roadrunner, a key milestone in the fight against climate change. The project will not only produce eSAF for airlines like American Airlines, who have already signed a deal to purchase commercial volumes of Infinium’s eSAF starting in 2026, but also eNaphtha for plastics manufacturing and eDiesel for long-haul trucking and maritime applications.
This investment signifies a major step forward in the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel and demonstrates the growing commitment of major players to invest in a cleaner future. Infinium’s eFuels are poised to play a crucial role in decarbonizing various sectors, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient world.
