INFINIUM TECHNOLOGY
Infinium eFuels are made from green hydrogen derived from renewable power and captured carbon dioxide in a proprietary process developed and commercialized over a decade. Infinium’s unique production process facilitates the on-site production of ultra-low carbon transportation fuels and chemicals such as sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), eDiesel, and eNaphtha. Infinium eFuels contain no sulfur and are produced with nearly zero process emissions, reinforcing our commitment to supporting low-carbon practices across the value chain.
As both a technology innovator and a project developer, Infinium has autonomous control of the eFuels production process from start to finish. This enables efficient transfer of information and learnings from our ongoing research and development activities to our projects under development, creating a constant knowledge feedback loop.
THE INFINIUM PRODUCTION PROCESS
Each Infinium production facility starts with three primary feedstocks: renewable power, water, and anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). Infinium has key developments globally where these feedstocks are available in large quantities, providing opportunities for large-scale eFuels developments. This supports our ability to continue the global growth of eFuels supply in the market, which helps our partners and customers reach their decarbonization goals.
PATENTED CATALYSTS
Infinium’s electrofuels process combines proven, established technologies with innovative processes and proprietary catalysts and reactors for the unique production of liquid fuels and chemicals that deliver high conversion efficiency and ideal fuel production yields.
ELECTROLYSIS
Today, electrolysis is one of the leading solutions for low-carbon hydrogen production. Infinium utilizes commercial-ready electrolysis in its integrated eFuels production facilities to produce green hydrogen. Electrolysis works by utilizing renewable electricity to split water (H2O) into carbon-free “green” hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O).
SYNGAS PRODUCTION
Green hydrogen (H2) is then paired with anthropogenic CO2 (that would have otherwise been emitted to the atmosphere) through a proprietary process and catalyst developed by Infinium to produce syngas (H2: CO), which is comprised of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). While syngas is a common chemical intermediary, Infinium has cracked the code to ultra-low carbon syngas production with high CO2 conversion through a process that can scale to meet the growing demand in the market.
LIQUID FUEL PRODUCTION
Syngas is then processed through Infinium’s proprietary liquid fuel production process and catalyst to produce liquid transportation fuels. Infinium deploys a “chain limiting catalyst” in this process step that produces liquid fuels directly, unlike traditional Fischer-Tropsch processes that produce mostly wax. Unique to the industry, Infinium’s patented catalyst and process eliminate the need for wax refining or co-processing at a refinery. Infinium’s liquid fuel production process has been commercially operated, providing an intensified solution for ultra-low carbon fuel production.
The results are the production of ultra-low carbon Infinium eSAF, Infinium eDiesel, and Infinium eNaphtha. Infinium eFuels can be used directly in existing infrastructure, without costly modifications. Infinium’s eChemicals can be used directly in existing chemical supply chains to produce everyday goods such as plastics, solvents, and cosmetics.
UNIQUE IN THE INDUSTRY
Infinium’s unique value proposition comes from both its technology ownership and project development portfolio and its expertise in the industry. Our technical approach, developed over more than a decade, has been refined for commercial applications. With a pipeline of over a dozen major projects globally, Infinium is ready to help our customers decarbonize by producing eFuels at scale.
