FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Electrofuels (eFuels) are liquid fuels derived from waste carbon dioxide (CO2) and renewable power, chemically identical to their fossil fuel equivalent. Used in the major transportation and chemical manufacturing sectors, eFuels are drop-in ready synthetic fuels designed to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 95% compared to today’s conventional fossil fuels. Infinium produces three propriety eFuels - Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF), eDiesel, and eNaphtha, a cleaner replacement for petroleum-based naphtha feedstocks used in chemical and plastics manufacturing.

eFuels have the potential to reduce life-cycle CO2 emissions by 95-98% compared to traditional petroleum-based fuels.

Infinium utilizes a proprietary process and catalysts to convert renewable power, water, and waste CO2 into liquid fuels. The first step incorporates electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and waste CO2 are then moved through the Infinium proprietary system to produce liquid fuels on-site – without the need for post processing or refining. Infinium eFuels are drop-in ready and can be used in existing engines, infrastructure, and chemical manufacturing processes without modification.

Infinium’s eSAF uses waste CO2 and renewable power as the primary feedstocks, which are plentiful resources that do not compete with food and land use. eSAF represents a 90%+ reduction in CO2 emissions compared to petroleum fossil fuels, a higher reduction than achieved by SAF made from fats and oils. The aviation industry needs to scale up the production of SAF by multiples in order to meet its decarbonization requirements; eSAF relies on plentiful feedstocks, unconstrained by availability and volatility, which other SAF pathways face.  All are needed to meet the challenge of the market.

Infinium facilities are designed to operate with any form of low-carbon or renewable hydrogen. Currently, most projects incorporate electrolyzers, which are procured and integrated as part of the overall eFuel facility deployment. These electrolyzers use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Depending on project goals and customer requirements, facilities can also utilize blue or gold hydrogen as alternative inputs.

Infinium employs a distinctive approach to power procurement and operations to ensure reliable energy supply for its eFuel facilities. This strategy includes the development of purpose-built, oversized renewable energy assets tailored to project needs, combined with a data-driven operations model that aligns power availability with real-time load demands.
