Infinium Project Roadrunner (Texas, US)CASE STUDY 12
Description
Commercial-scale e-fuels plant producing e-SAF, e-diesel and e-naphtha. The project represents
one of the first integrated efforts in the US to combine renewable power, captured CO2 and
advanced electrolysis for commercial e-fuel production.
Solutions
–Value chain coordination: Integration across power, hydrogen, CO2 and offtake partners to
de-risk a nascent e-fuels market.
–Financing structure: Combination of equity financing from Brookfield Asset Management and
Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, plus debt financing from HSBC under a project-based credit
arrangement.
–Power and technology partnerships: 150 MW of new wind power secured via PPA with
NextEra Energy Resources; 100 MW proton exchange membrane electrolysers supplied by
Electric Hydrogen;69 CO2 feedstock from Kinetik Holdings; fabrication partnership with Titan
Production Equipment.
–Offtake certainty: 10-year e-SAF supply agreements signed with American Airlines and
International Airlines Group (IAG) to support bankability.
–Cross-sector product optionality: e-SAF for aviation, e-diesel for maritime and heavy-duty
transport, and e-naphtha for low-carbon plastics.
Impact
–Over $275 million in equity investment secured, with additional debt financing committed.
–23,000 tonnes per annum combined nameplate capacity of e-SAF, e-diesel and e-naphtha.
–FID in 2025; commissioning expected in 2027 (currently under construction).
–Creation of hundreds of skilled jobs in West Texas during construction and operations.
