Infinium, the world’s first producer of commercially available ultra-low carbon eFuels, and Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM) (“Brookfield”) today announced a strategic funding partnership to accelerate the growth of Infinium’s eFuels platform. Infinium eFuels—which includes eSAF, a next generation sustainable aviation fuel—can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 90% or more compared to today’s conventional fuels. Under the terms of the deal, Brookfield has committed to invest more than $200 million in Infinium and Infinium’s Project Roadrunner that is under development in West Texas and up to an additional $850 million for deployment of other Infinium eFuels projects globally, all subject to pre-agreed metrics. The investment will be made by the first vintage of the Brookfield Global Transition Fund (“BGTF I”) and marks Brookfield’s first direct investment in sustainable aviation fuel. 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,” stated Infinium CEO Robert Schuetzle. “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 decarbonization options, Infinium remains committed to accelerating production to help meet those demands.” Infinium eSAF is the newest generation of sustainable aviation fuel and is produced through a proprietary process that combines water, waste CO2 and renewable energy to produce ultra-low carbon fuels including eSAF, eDiesel and eNaphtha. eFuels are “drop-in” replacements for today’s fossil-based fuels and can be used without changes to engines or infrastructure in planes, ships, trucks and manufacturing processes.  Infinium recently announced a strategic deal with American Airlines, in which American will purchase commercial volumes of Infinium eSAF starting in 2026 produced by Project Roadrunner. The agreement helps secure offtake for Project Roadrunner and fuel for American to help decarbonize its airplane fleet while meeting its aggressive sustainability goals. #aviation #airlines #americanairlines #greenenergy #renewableenergy #sustainablenergy #bloomberg #business #money #investing #sustainableaviationfuel #energy #economictimes #thenationalnews #gulfnews #wsj #banking #brookfield #infinium #assetmanagement

Fantastic news this week, as greatly articulated below by Omar Germouni. Such significant investments by Brookfield Asset Management is proving that the timing to be spending billions is now, not the next decade. We often bring a lot of skepticism into the argument of how making e-fuels economic is a difficult exercise for Australia as a result of not being able to compete with IRA. However, e-fuel investments at this scale demonstrate that this goes beyond the longevity of the IRA in the U.S and its current advantage (tax incentives). Our HPTI & Headstart programs in Aus were put in place to help us gain momentum, and that's where the Australian private sector needs to be leveraging its existing assets and supply chains to keep up with the global pace, with support from federal and state governments. When global companies with major upcoming projects in Australia such as HIF Global , Amp Energy, InterContinental Energy and many others choose Australia, we know that making e-fuels at scale in Australia this decade is achievable. LNG was just as hard back in the day and here we are again presented with another opportunity of the century perhaps. Kudos to the Infinium team for this milestone, an achievement worth celebrating over the weekend for sure. We are thrilled to see such news at 11point2 as we continue to uncover new energy ventures that focus on repurposing upstream assets ahead of their end of economic life to decarbonise hard to abate sectors, whilst reducing decommissioning liability. #greenhydrogen #eammonia #emethanol #SAF #ediesel

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑷𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆: 𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑶𝒊𝒍 𝑮𝒐 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏? (𝑨 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕) ️ Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! Let's talk about the elephant in the room: 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬. They power our lives, but they also come at a cost to our planet. This is especially true for the oil and gas industry, a giant global industry. As someone who works in the EPC industry, I often wonder: 𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑶𝒊𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆? Here's the thing: the oil and gas industry has a remarkable history of innovation. They've tackled deep-sea drilling and complex refining – imagine what they could do if they set their sights on sustainability! 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆: 𝑪𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Can they develop methods to extract and refine oil with a smaller environmental footprint? Carbon capture and storage (CCS) seems promising, but what about biofuels? Are they a viable long-term option? 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔: Big Oil shouldn't see renewables as a threat but as a partner. The falling costs of solar power are exciting! Imagine oil companies using their expertise to build a bridge to a lower-carbon future. The reality is, that we can't just flip a switch and go completely green. Oil and gas will be around for a while. But there's a chance for the industry to be a responsible partner in the transition. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆: Oil companies can invest in and collaborate with renewable energy players. Collaboration, not competition, is key!

DOE announces $3bn for Gevo, Montana Renewables There are lots of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) companies that only came to life because of friends and family investors. But these rounds can only take you so far. There is only one relative that can get you to production. Uncle Sam. This week the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Loan Programs Office announced nearly $3bn in loan guarantees for two SAF projects. This substantial federal backing not only accelerates the growth of the SAF industry but also signals to private investors that the sector is primed for expansion, potentially unlocking further capital. #sustainableaviationfuel #SAF #cleanaviationfuel #biofuel #renewablejetfuel #aviationemissions #decarbonization #climatechange #sustainability #greenaviation #aviationindustry #airlineindustry #aerospaceindustry #energytransition #lowcarboneconomy #greeneconomy #innovation #technology #researchanddevelopment #partnership Read full below. https://lnkd.in/ecZSvedT

A $100 million CEFC investment to help decarbonise the emissions-intensive transport sector will harness the infrastructure, expertise, workforce and supply chain networks of leading industry player Ampol to tackle what is forecast to be Australia’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. CEFC capital will be available to finance a range of clean energy technology measures at Ampol service stations across the country to accelerate the decarbonisation of its operations, kickstart its biofuel development and drive down national transport emissions. Potential initiatives include the roll out of electric vehicle (EV) charging and green hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, the installation of solar PV, and the development of alternative energy sources such as biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
