Brookfield Asset Management is committing up to $1.05 billion to support Infinium and its electrofuels platform, marking the firm’s first major venture into sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The company announced the investment on Tuesday, signaling a substantial step toward decarbonizing the aviation sector.
Strategic Partnership to Boost Project Roadrunner
The investment includes a direct $200 million contribution from the Brookfield Global Transition Fund for Infinium’s Project Roadrunner, a commercial-scale electrofuels facility in West Texas. Once completed, Project Roadrunner is expected to be the largest electrofuels project worldwide.
In addition to this initial investment, Brookfield has pledged up to $850 million to support Infinium’s other global electrofuels initiatives. Brookfield will also lead Infinium’s Series C preferred stock offering, according to the company’s statement on Tuesday.
