We discuss the non-perturbative renormalization group flow of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) coupled to Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG) and explore the possibilities for defining its continuum limit at a fixed point that would lead to a non-trivial, i.e. interacting field theory. We find two fixed points suitable for the Asymptotic Safety construction. In the first case, the fine-structure constant a vanishes at the fixed point and its infrared (renormalized) value is a free parameter not determined by the theory itself. In the second case, the fixed point value of a is non-zero, and its infrared value is a computable prediction of the theory.
