Technip Energies awarded substantial contract for SkyNRG’s SAF project in the Netherlands

Technip Energies announced Feb. 12 that it has been awarded a substantial contract by SkyNRG for the DSL-01 project, a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility to be developed in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.

A substantial award for Technip Energies, according to the company, is one that represents between 500-million and 1-billion euros (USD$593.6 million to USD$1.78 billion) in revenue.

The award covers engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) for Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF production facility.

It follows the successful completion of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase by Technip Energies and marks a significant step in the longstanding collaboration with SkyNRG.

The DSL-01 project is designed to produce 100,000 metric tons per year of SAF using the hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) pathway, processing sustainable waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil.

The project integrates an advanced feedstock pretreatment unit and an on-site hydrogen plant based on Technip Energies’ proprietary steam methane reforming (SMR) technology.

This configuration is intended to improve cost efficiency and minimize lifecycle emissions, thereby enabling large-scale competitive production of SAF.

This contract represents Technip Energies’ sixth HEFA-based SAF project in Europe, reinforcing its position as a key enabler for SAF capacities in the region.

“We are pleased to have been entrusted by SkyNRG to deliver this important sustainable aviation fuel project,” said Sylvain Cabalery, the head of commercial, project delivery and services business unit at Technip Energies. “With a planned capacity of 100,000 tons per year, this initiative marks a significant advancement in scaling SAF production across Europe. Technip Energies has delivered more than 60 percent of the installed SAF production capacity globally. This award reinforces our leadership in this strategic market and underscores our continued commitment towards a more sustainable future.”

Maarten van Dijk, CEO and co-founder of SkyNRG, added,“Reaching this milestone for DSL-01 is a defining step in our journey toward operating our own SAF production capacity. Together with Technip Energies as our trusted and expert EPCC partner, we can now turn years of development into a physical facility. Scaling SAF is essential for the future of aviation, and this project is a concrete contribution to its decarbonization.”
