Technip Energies to build SkyNRG SAF project in Netherlands

Clean gas conglomerate Technip Energies 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 of Netherlands.

Technip has not revealed the exact amount of the award. It held that a “substantial” award for Technip Energies is a contract award representing between €500 million and €1 billion of revenue.

The award covers EPCC for Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF production facility. It follows the successful completion of the Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) phase by Technip Energies.

The DSL-01 project is designed to produce 100,000 tons per annum 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 pre-treatment 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 sustainable aviation fuel capacities in the region.

Sylvain Cabalery, Head of Commercial, Project Delivery & Services business unit at Technip Energies, stated, “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% 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, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of SkyNRG, stated: “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.”
