- Infinium's eFuels project will be developed at Mo Industripark in Norway.
- The facility will use CO2 from SMA's quicklime production as feedstock.
- Infinium produces eFuels using waste CO2 and renewable power.
- SMA's process electrifies lime burning and extracts pure CO2.
Project Overview
Infinium has partnered with SMA Mineral to advance an eFuels project at Mo Industripark in Mo i Rana, Norway. The facility will utilize CO2 produced at SMA's quicklime manufacturing facility as a feedstock for eFuels production.
eFuels Production
Infinium uses waste CO2 and renewable power to produce eFuels, including sustainable aviation fuel, Infinium eSAF. These eFuels can be used in existing engines and infrastructure without modifications, offering a market-ready alternative to petroleum-based products. This approach aids in the decarbonization of heavy industries by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a circular CO2 utilization process.
SMA's Role
SMA's process electrifies lime burning using renewable power, extracting a pure stream of CO2 without needing an additional carbon capture unit. This method increases stone usage efficiency, extends the lifespan of lime resources, and produces CO2-neutral lime, which can help decarbonize the steel industry.
Global Impact
Infinium operates the world's first commercial-scale eFuels facility in Corpus Christi, Texas, and has over a dozen global projects in development. The partnership with SMA aims to reduce the carbon footprint of multiple sectors critical to the European economy, foster regional economic growth, and position Mo i Rana as a strategic hub for sustainable industries.
