As more companies turn to clean energy in an effort to combat climate change, the e-fuels industry is experiencing massive growth. Leading the charge is Infinium, an electrofuels provider at the forefront of alternative energy solutions and clean, low carbon fuels.
Electrosynthetic fuels, or “eFuels,” are a new category of man-made fuels sourced from renewable power and waste carbon dioxide. They are designed as alternatives to traditional petroleum-based fuels and available for use in a variety of applications, including the transportation and chemical sectors.

Founded in 2020, the leading e-fuels supplier is pioneering a range of advanced energy solutions, including ultra-low carbon synthetic eFuels, power-to-liquid (PtL) eFuels, and modular gas conversion technologies. In fact, Infinium was the first company to produce PtLs at commercial-scale and to develop and deploy modular systems that convert waste gases––such as flare gas from oil extraction and renewable natural gas (RNG)––into usable fuels. The company also offers eDiesel for heavy-duty trucks and eNaphtha, a low-carbon alternative to petroleum naphtha, for the chemicals and plastics industries.
Infinium is particularly active in the aviation sector, producing sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) for leading commercial air carriers such as American Airlines and IAG, owner of Aer Lingus, British Airways, and other global airline brands. In a recent press release, American Airlines has agreed to purchase SAFs from Infinium’s planned facility in Pecos, Texas. Dubbed “Project Roadrunner,” the low-carbon fuel plant is expected to become the world’s largest e-fuel production site once operational.
Project Roadrunner is Infinium’s second eFuels facility in the U.S. The company also has a production site in Corpus Christi, TX called Project Pathfinder. Pathfinder opened in 2023 as the world’s first commercial-scale drop-in eFuels plant.
Outside of the U.S., Infinium has more than a dozen projects lined up, including in the EU, Japan, and Australia.
The company has raised a total of $69 million in funding to date and completed its last funding round in January 2025. The Series C round attracted 13 investors, including Brookfield Asset Management, the University of Michigan, and Mitsubishi. Brookfield led the round and, in September 2024, pledged t up to $1.1 billion in additional capital to the company. Other notable investors include Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Amazon.
According to a report released on June 4, the global e-fuels market is currently valued at $34.41 billion, up from $28.15 billion in 2024. Advancements in e-fuel technology, falling costs, and regulatory policies are just some of the factors responsible for the e-fuel boom.
As market demand for sustainable fuels continues to rise, companies like Infinium are advancing decarbonization efforts across multiple industries and spearheading a new generation of innovative, climate-friendly technology.
