Infinium, the pioneering producer of ultra-low carbon eFuels, has secured a strategic funding partnership with Brookfield Asset Management to propel its eFuels platform. This collaboration will significantly boost the development of Infinium’s eFuels, including eSAF—a next-generation sustainable aviation fuel capable of reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 90% compared to traditional fuels.
Brookfield has committed over $200 million to Infinium and its Project Roadrunner, located in West Texas, with an additional potential investment of up to $850 million for other global eFuels projects, contingent on meeting specific pre-agreed milestones. This investment marks Brookfield’s first direct foray into sustainable aviation fuel and will be managed through the inaugural vintage of the Brookfield Global Transition Fund. Additionally, Brookfield will lead Infinium’s Series C Preferred Stock offering.
Infinium’s eSAF represents the latest advancement in sustainable aviation fuels, produced through a proprietary method that utilizes water, waste CO2, and renewable energy. This process generates ultra-low carbon eFuels, including eSAF, eDiesel, and eNaphtha. These eFuels are designed as “drop-in” solutions, allowing them to replace conventional fossil fuels without requiring modifications to existing engines or infrastructure in various applications such as aviation, maritime, and manufacturing.
Infinium has also secured a strategic agreement with American Airlines, which will begin purchasing commercial volumes of eSAF from Project Roadrunner in 2026. This deal not only provides offtake assurance for the project but also supports American Airlines’ goals to reduce its carbon footprint and meet its sustainability targets.
The Project Roadrunner site will also produce eNaphtha for use in plastics manufacturing and eDiesel for long-haul trucking and maritime sectors, which are more challenging to electrify. Infinium is actively pursuing additional offtake contracts for the remaining capacity at the plant, with announcements expected in the near future.
Brookfield’s investment joins previous support from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, which previously committed $75 million conditionally to Project Roadrunner. Breakthrough Energy has played a crucial role in advancing Roadrunner by providing critical support and expertise in shaping an investment-ready project structure.
