Technip Energies wins contract for SkyNRG's first European SAF facility.

Technip Energies has secured a major contract. They will build a new facility. The partner is a firm called SkyNRG. This project is named DSL-01. It is located in the Netherlands. This site is very special. It is Europe's first standalone plant. It will produce sustainable aviation fuel. We call this fuel SAF. The plant will make 100,000 tons. This happens every single year. Technip will lead the whole project. They will design and build it. This is called an EPCC contract. It shows great trust in them.

Why This Project Matters

The aviation industry must go green. The IATA has a big goal. They want net-zero carbon by 2050. SAF is the best way. It reduces emissions by 80 percent. This plant helps reach that goal. It uses regional waste as feedstock. This includes used cooking oil. It does not use food crops. This makes the fuel very clean. Industry data shows SAF is vital. It works in current aircraft engines. No major changes are needed now.

A First for Europe

Most SAF plants are small additions. This one is a greenfield site. That means it is brand new. It stands all on its own. The location is in Delfzijl. This is a major industrial hub. The EASA sets the rules. They ensure all fuels are safe. This plant follows all EU laws. It supports the ReFuelEU Aviation plan. This plan mandates cleaner fuel use. By 2030, levels must rise significantly. This facility helps meet those targets.

Looking Toward the Future

Airlines are waiting for more SAF. Supply is currently very low. This plant will change the market. It provides a steady fuel source. Technip Energies brings deep expertise. They know how to build big. SkyNRG provides the fuel knowledge. This partnership is a strong one. It paves the way for others. More plants will likely follow soon. Aviation is becoming much cleaner today. This project is a major milestone.
