Infinium and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst are spending $75 million on Project Roadrunner, a futuristic project that will convert waste carbon dioxide and renewable energy into low-carbon electrofuels.
The West Texas project will repurpose an existing brownfield gas-to-liquids facility into a commercial-scale power-to-liquids eFuels plant. Among its primary products is Infinium eSAF, a sustainable aviation fuel that seeks to reduce airline emissions by 90%. Infinium eNaphtha for polymers and Infinium eDeisel for difficult-to-electrify vehicles, such as trucks and shipping, will also be produced at the site.
Importantly, American Airlines has signed an offtake deal for eSAF with Infinium, providing revenue stability. This collaboration serves as a model for the aviation industry. Breakthrough Energy Catalyst's $75 million investment is critical to expediting Project Roadrunner's completion and establishing a model for larger fuel plants.
Electrofuels, such as those developed by Project Roadrunner, are emerging as critical decarbonization tools for maritime and air travel, providing a smooth substitute for petroleum-based fuels with no vehicle modifications required. Despite the current higher costs due to restricted manufacturing scale, the project represents an encouraging step toward long-term decarbonization in these key industries. With over a dozen projects spanning the United States, European Union, Japan, and Australia, Infinium's global footprint demonstrates its dedication to decreasing emissions and repurposing carbon-based pollutants for a more sustainable energy future.
