eFuels SEA launches platform to develop projects across Southeast Asia using Infinium technology

Infinium announced April 10 that eFuels SEA Ltd. has launched as a new development platform dedicated to advancing electro fuels, also referred to as eFuels, projects throughout Southeast Asia.

The company will utilize Infinium’s ultra-low carbon eFuels technology to develop and deploy commercial-scale production facilities across the region, accelerating the transition to sustainable fuels.

Headquartered in Singapore, eFuels SEA will develop eFuel production facilities that convert captured carbon dioxide and renewable power into drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) and other ultra-low carbon products.

The platform is supported by an experienced Asia-based management team with expertise in energy markets, project finance and industrial development, working in collaboration with regional partners.

Infinium, a global leader in ultra-low carbon electro fuels designed to decarbonize transportation and industrial supply chains, will license its proprietary eFuels technology to projects under development by eFuels SEA in Southeast Asia.

Infinium’s technology transforms renewable electricity, water and waste carbon dioxide into high-value liquid fuels that can be used with existing fuel-supply infrastructure without modification.

“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 David Wang, co-founder and CEO of eFuels SEA. “We plan to work with local partners and community members to accelerate siting of these projects as a complement to local agendas for industrial development, manpower up-skilling and net-zero commitments.”

Tienleong Tan, a strategic advisor to eFuels SEA, added, “Southeast Asia has the industrial capability and policy momentum to implement decarbonization projects to truly become a leader in electro fuels. There is also an urgent need to reduce dependency on fossil fuel with sustainable energy thereby enhancing energy security.”

Infinium Energy is a leader in the commercialization of ultra-low carbon eFuels, operating the world’s first commercial-scale eFuels plant in Corpus Christi, Texas, since 2023.

A second facility based on Infinium technology is currently under construction in Pecos, Texas.

“We are pleased to collaborate with eFuels SEA to expand access to eFuels in Southeast Asia, a region uniquely positioned to scale production of sustainable aviation fuel and other low-carbon fuels,” said Robert Schuetzle, the CEO and founder of Infinium.

Southeast Asia offers a unique combination of fuel-demand fundamentals and sources of renewable energy.

Countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are advancing hydrogen and carbon-management strategies that align with large-scale eFuel deployment.

These developments create favorable conditions for new projects that can support domestic decarbonization goals while positioning the region as an exporter of sustainable fuels.

eFuels SEA plans to target development of three to five projects across multiple Southeast Asian countries.

By combining regional project-development expertise with Infinium’s advanced technology platform, the company aims to scale production to meet both domestic demand and international market opportunities.
