Infinium secures $1.1bn investment commitment from Brookfield
e-Fuel producer Infinium announced that it has secured an investment commitment of up to $1.1bn from Brookfield Asset Management to help grow the company’s e-fuel platform and support production of eSAF.
Brookfield has committed to invest more than $200m in Infinium and Infinium’s Project Roadrunner that is under development in West Texas and up to an additional $850m for deployment of other Infinium eFuels projects globally.
The investment will be made by the first vintage of the Brookfield Global Transition Fund and marks Brookfield’s first direct investment in SAF.
Brookfield will also serve as lead in Infinium’s Series C preferred stock offering.
“Brookfield is a tremendous partner, and we are thrilled to secure this additional capital as we scale eSAF production to meet the overwhelming demand from the aviation industry,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO, Infinium.
“Our Project Pathfinder site was the first to bring commercial volumes of eFuels to market, and Project Roadrunner brings additional volumes of eFuels to scale global supplies. As our airline partners continue to push for more SAF and decarbonisation options, Infinium remains committed to accelerating production to help meet those demands.”
In November last year, Infinium signed an offtake agreement with American Airlines. The airline will purchase commercial volumes of Infinium eSAF starting in 2026 produced by Project Roadrunner.
Beyond eSAF, Infinium’s Project Roadrunner will also produce eNaphtha and eDiesel.
“We are very excited to be partnering with Infinium, a leader in the development and production of ultra-low carbon intensity drop in fuel alternatives. Our investment is structured to provide the capital Infinium needs to accelerate the production of SAF to meet the growing demand from corporate customers while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for Brookfield,” said Jehangir Vevaina, Managing Partner at Brookfield.
“In addition to Roadrunner, Infinium has a large pipeline of well positioned projects to help meet the demand for the structurally short eFuels market, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to participate in the development of further eFuels projects through follow-on investments.”
