-- Singapore-based electrofuels development platform eFuels SEA launched a platform to promote electrofuel production across Southeast Asia using technology from US firm Infinium, the company said in a statement on Friday.
It said it aims to develop facilities that convert captured carbon dioxide and renewable electricity into sustainable aviation fuel and other low-carbon products compatible with existing infrastructure. The projects are to serve both regional demand and export markets.
Infinium's process combines renewable power, water, and waste CO2 to produce drop-in liquid fuels. The company has operated a commercial-scale facility in Corpus Christi, Texas, since 2023 and is building a second plant in the state with a planned capacity of about 23,000 tonnes per year.
eFuels SEA plans to roll out three to five projects across Southeast Asia, backed by a management team with experience in energy markets, project finance, and industrial development.
"By leveraging Infinium's demonstrated technology, we are confident of delivering economic value add, enhancing energy security, and achieving climate impact in the region," said eFuels SEA co-founder and CEO David Wang.
Infinium CEO Robert Schuetzle said the partnership would expand access to sustainable fuels in a region "uniquely positioned" to scale production.
The launch comes as countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia advance hydrogen and carbon management strategies, eFuels SEA said.
