What SkyNRG does

SkyNRG is a Dutch sustainable aviation fuel company founded in Amsterdam in 2009 that operates across the full SAF value chain — from sourcing and distributing SAF to airlines and corporates, to developing and operating dedicated SAF production facilities. The company supplies SAF blended into existing jet fuel infrastructure and sells SAF certificates (SAFc) through its proprietary Book & Claim chain-of-custody mechanism, the first co-processed batch of which was registered by SkyNRG under the RSB Book & Claim registry. It serves more than 40 airlines (including anchor customer KLM, a co-founder and shareholder), approximately 60 corporate customers (via the Board Now program and the SABA collective-purchasing mechanism in which ~20 companies have committed ~$200M over five years), and government clients through advisory engagements. The core production technology is HEFA via Topsoe's HydroFlex process at the DSL-01 plant under construction in Delfzijl, Netherlands, designed for 100,000 tonnes per year of SAF from sustainable waste feedstocks, with operations targeted for mid-2028; complementary projects pursue eSAF in Sweden (SkyKraft, up to 130,000 t/yr with Skellefteå Kraft), alcohol-to-jet and Fischer-Tropsch pathways in the US (Project Wigeon in Washington State with Boeing, Amazon, Alaska Airlines), and an additional facility in Amsterdam (Synkero). The company holds a unique compliance stack — RSB EU RED since 2013, the world's first ICAO CORSIA certification, and B Corp recertification (score 81.5, 2025) — and is governed by an Independent Sustainability Board of NGOs and scientists.

Revenue model

1. SAF Sales and Distribution: SkyNRG generates revenue primarily from sourcing, blending, and distributing Sustainable Aviation Fuel to airlines and corporate buyers worldwide. Revenue is derived from volume-based sales of SAF, both through physical supply integrated into local jet fuel supply chains and via the Book & Claim mechanism (certificates sold separately from physical fuel). Long-term offtake agreements (e.g., KLM's ~€3 billion commitment for 75% of DSL-01 output) anchor production facility financing.
2. SAF Production (via owned facilities): As SkyNRG transitions from trader to project developer and operator, revenue will increasingly derive from ownership and operation of dedicated SAF production facilities. The DSL-01 plant in Delfzijl (100,000 t/yr, operations expected mid-2028) is the first of multiple planned plants in the Netherlands, US (Project Wigeon, 50M gallons/yr), and Sweden (Project SkyKraft, 100,000 t/yr eSAF). Production revenue complements trading activity as facilities come online.
3. SAF Advisory Services: SkyNRG provides consulting services to airlines, governments, and corporates covering technology pathways, downstream supply chain setup, policy developments, sustainability standards, and SAF accounting principles. Advisory fees represent a secondary revenue stream supporting the company's thought leadership positioning.
4. Board Now Corporate Program: SkyNRG's Board Now program enables corporate buyers to cover the 'green premium' of SAF — the cost above conventional jet fuel — in exchange for sustainability certificates and carbon reduction claims. Participants build the business case for new SAF production capacity by committing to offtake volumes. The program generated SAFc (SAF certificates) revenue and connected nearly 20 companies committing ~$200 million over five years via SABA.

Core offering

SkyNRG sources, blends, and distributes Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to airlines and corporates worldwide, and is transitioning into a producer-developer of dedicated SAF production facilities across Europe and the United States. The company also operates the Board Now corporate program and a Book & Claim chain-of-custody system that enables buyers anywhere to claim the sustainability attributes of SAF, and provides SAF advisory services to industry players and governments.

Product overview

SkyNRG is a sustainable aviation fuel company offering a comprehensive portfolio of products and services. The core offering consists of three interconnected pillars: (1) Fly with SAF - procurement programs for airlines and corporates through Board Now; (2) Producing SAF - development of dedicated SAF production facilities including DSL-01 in Delfzijl, Project Wigeon in Washington State, SkyKraft eSAF in Sweden, and Synkero in Amsterdam; and (3) SAF Advisory - consulting services for industry navigation. The company supports its offerings with the Book & Claim certificate system for sustainability claims and publishes the annual SAF Market Outlook report in partnership with ICF. SkyNRG's production facilities utilize multiple technology pathways including HEFA, Alcohol-to-Jet, Fischer-Tropsch, and e-SAF to diversify feedstock sources and meet regulatory requirements.

Direct peers

• Neste: The world's largest producer of renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel using HEFA pathway from waste and residue feedstocks. Headquartered in Finland, Neste operates the Singapore and Rotterdam SAF refineries and is SkyNRG's primary global competitor and reference benchmark for HEFA economics.
• Gevo: US-based renewable fuels and chemicals company developing Alcohol-to-Jet SAF with Net-Zero 1 and other facilities. Direct competitor pursuing a different approved pathway (ATJ vs SkyNRG's HEFA/eSAF), competing for both corporate offtake and Sas-era partnerships.
• World Energy: Pioneer HEFA SAF producer operating one of the longest-running dedicated SAF conversion facilities in Paramount, California. Supplies SAF to multiple US airlines and is a direct US-based competitor to SkyNRG for both physical supply and corporate Scope 3 buyers.
• Aemetis: US-based renewable fuels company building a HEFA SAF plant in Riverbank, California with a $1.5B+ project pipeline. Direct US competitor pursuing similar offtake-driven commercial structure as SkyNRG's Wigeon project.

Emerging players

• LanzaTech: Carbon recycling company converting industrial off-gases into ethanol for ATJ-SAF production via partnership with Indian Oil and others. Competes for the alcohol-to-jet pathway segment and corporate carbon-reduction offtake such as from Microsoft and partners—offering an alternative to SkyNRG's eSAF route.
• Fulcrum BioEnergy: Waste-to-SAF developer using gasification and Fischer-Tropsch pathways to convert municipal solid waste into jet fuel. Competes with SkyNRG for next-generation feedstock pathways and corporate offtake, with plans for multiple North American plants.
• Velocys: UK-based Fischer-Tropsch microchannel-reactor developer for waste-to-SAF, with a reference plant at Immingham. Competes with SkyNRG's FT pathway exposure and pursues similar UK and EU mandates-driven offtake.
• HIF Global: Chile-based e-fuels developer (Power-to-Liquid) producing synthetic fuels from green hydrogen. Directly comparable to SkyNRG's Project SkyKraft in technology and target product (eSAF), competing for both EU eSAF sub-mandate demand and renewable-power project finance.
• Infinium: US-based Power-to-Liquid e-fuels company producing eSAF and e-diesel from captured CO2 and green hydrogen. Competes with SkyNRG's SkyKraft and broader eSAF strategy for next-generation synthetic aviation fuel demand and lower-carbon feedstock budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Shell Aviation: Global aviation fuel supplier and existing SkyNRG partner for DSL-01. As a major oil major scaling SAF, it competes across both physical supply and Book & Claim distribution with vastly larger balance sheet, established airline relationships, and integrated downstream infrastructure.
