Infinium to deploy Electric Hydrogen’s HYPRPlant at efuels facility

Electric Hydrogen, an American manufacturer of high-power electrolyser plants, has announced that Infinium, a producer of commercial efuels, has selected Electric Hydrogen’s 100 MW HYPRPlant for its large scale efuels facility in Texas, US, Project Roadrunner.

Electric Hydrogen’s HYPRPlant is a complete solution that can lower hydrogen total installed project costs. The company manufactures HYPRPlants in the US: its proprietary electrochemical stacks are built in Electric Hydrogen’s Massachusetts gigafactory while the chemical process modules are manufactured in Texas, drawing on strong local expertise from the oil and gas industry.

“We are very pleased to be working with Electric Hydrogen and have been impressed with the HYPRPlant design and commercial package,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium. “Low-cost renewable hydrogen is a critical component to efuel production, and the industry needs the kind of innovation and thoughtful execution we have seen from Electric Hydrogen.”

Once production begins, Project Roadrunner – expected to be the largest efuels production facility in the world – will produce sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), eDiesel, and eNaphtha from CO2, power, and water for the aviation, heavy-duty trucking, plastics, and maritime sectors. The project will bolster US technological advances and bring skilled jobs and economic growth to West Texas. Many of those workers are expected to bring skills and expertise they developed in the oil and gas sector. The facility is projected to commence commercial e-fuels production in 2027.

This project exemplifies how low-cost, industrial-scale, clean hydrogen production will drive new markets for US-made fuels and support the buildout of domestic manufacturing facilities,” said Raffi Garabedian, Electric Hydrogen’s CEO and Co-Founder. “We are honoured to be selected as Infinium’s electrolyser manufacturer of choice.”

Brookfield Asset Management and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst are financing partners for Infinium’s Project Roadrunner, making it one of the first large-scale project-financed efuels project. The project will supply sustainable aviation fuel over a 10 year period to International Airlines Group (IAG), one of the largest airline companies in the world through subsidiaries Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL, and Vueling.

This project announcement follows the unveiling of HYPRPlant, the announcement of Electric Hydrogen’s strategic partnership with Texas-based Titan Production Equipment and the company’s selection as Uniper’s exclusive electrolysis partner for the 200 MW Green Wilhemshaven project in Northern Germany.
