Welcome to SkyNRG’s third annual Impact Report. From the SAF we supply to how we operate as a company; this report dives into the real impact we’re making across the industry and beyond.
Foreword by Maarten van Dijk – CEO SkyNRG
“2025 was a pivotal year for SkyNRG as we laid the foundation for the FID for DSL-01.”
2025 was a pivotal year for SkyNRG as we laid the foundation for the Financial Investment Decision (FID) for DSL-01, our first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production plant. We signed the EPC and offtake contracts, locked in the required funds, and further strengthened our team towards the start of construction. FID followed in February 2026, demonstrating growing market confidence in scalable SAF production.
This transition is supported by the €250 million investment from APG on behalf of its pension fund client ABP. The investment, along with Macquarie Asset Management’s existing equity commitment, allows us to move forward with our plans to develop and construct facilities dedicated to SAF production and to scale our commercial business of sourcing and selling SAF.
To support this growth, we welcomed Richard Gort onto the executive team as our Chief Operations Officer (COO). With 28 years in the energy sector, Richard brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, from safety leadership to operational discipline. This knowledge is invaluable for SkyNRG, as we scale from SAF market-maker to an owner and operator of SAF production capacity.
SkyNRG 2025 Impact Report – Changing the future of flying
IMPACT SUPPLY
SkyNRG’s direct sustainability impact comes from the SAF we supply to our partners. We will become a SAF producer in the next few years, which will further enhance our overall sustainability impact.
IMPACT BROADER
We actively contribute to shaping key SAF policy frameworks, providing evidence and insights to align regulation with real-world implementation and climate ambition.
IMPACT WITHIN
Our team drives our organizational impact. We ensure a supportive, healthy and inclusive work environment to deliver on our internal sustainability goals.
Our Sustainability Journey
“Since 2009, we have been a change maker in the aviation industry.”
SAF Supply
We’ve been in the industry for over 15 years and throughout this time, we’ve used our firsthand experience to develop our expertise in SAF supply chains. We supply high-integrity SAF to an expansive network of suppliers and customers across the globe. Now that they are further developed, we use SAF registries to transact SAF certificates, increasing transparency and traceability.
An average of 85% lifecycle GHG savings compared to fossil jet fuel (65% minimum required in the EU).*
100% had sustainability certifications (EU RED or CORSIA)
71% of certificate sales were transacted through a SAF registry
100% made from waste or residue feedstocks
* In 2025, over 81% of our supply was EU RED certified and calculated based on EU Renewable Energy Directive fossil jet fuel baseline of 94 gCO₂e/MJ for lifecycle carbon intensity. The balance was CORSIA certified against 89 94 gCO₂e/MJ baseline for lifecycle carbon intensity.
Building Global SAF Capacity
We are developing production facilities and sustainable feedstock pathways to address the growing demand for SAF and help the aviation industry meet its Net Zero by 2050 goal. We have scoured the globe to find locations with favorable environments for high-integrity SAF; our three projects are based in the US, Netherlands, and Sweden.
DSL-01
SkyNRG is constructing a first of its kind renewable fuel facility in Delfzijl, Netherlands, named DSL-01, which will convert residual fats and greases into SAF and other renewable products. We aim to build and operate in a responsible manner. This means ensuring transparency to stakeholders and assessing and mitigating potential environmental and social impacts.
Impact Through Advocacy
2025 was an important year for strengthening SAF accounting integrity while accelerating market demand. SAF is gaining wider recognition via SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero standard and public consultation, an exciting milestone. Our work ensures this growth happens credibly, with high-quality standards guiding real-world corporate demand.
Strengthening SAF accounting integrity
Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB)
Through our engagement in public forums, workshops, and
collaborative sessions, we contributed our technical expertise on additionality, policy developments, and practical implementation.
Smart Freight Centre (SFC)
As part of SFC’s Clean Air Transport program, we contributed to the development of their latest ReFuelEU and Accounting and Reporting Guideline, supporting robust accounting for SAF implementation to address Scope 3 emissions.
Accelerating market demand
Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI)
By engaging with senior industry stakeholders through SMI aviation forums, we highlighted the importance of stable policy frameworks, long-term offtake agreements, and corporate leadership. This engagement will guide credible SAF scale-up strategies and inform practical approaches for high-integrity market expansion over the next five years.
Global Business Travel Association (GBTA)
We supported corporate SAF adoption through SAF Corporate Connect, sharing best practices on incorporating SAF into real-world travel program procurement decisions and highlighting how to build the business case.
Impact Through Education
Market Outlook
We released our fifth SAF Market Outlook in 2025 in collaboration with ICF, a major industry publication for airlines, suppliers, corporates, European Commission stakeholders, and tech developers.
The outlook was launched in Brussels to policy stakeholders along with a detailed panel on implications for the market. This edition highlighted both the progress made and the important steps still needed to ensure a resilient, scalable SAF industry capable of meeting long-term decarbonization goals.
A key focus was the "HEFA tipping point". This means that after 2030, demand is set to outpace the HEFA SAF production potential, urging the industry to shift towards a more diversified set of SAF policies and pathways.

GHG Inventory 2025
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are categorized into three different scopes (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) based on where they occur in a corporate vale chain: in their direct control or outside their direct control.
SkyNRG's GHG Inventory reports on all three scopes for our corporate offices in Amsterdam and Bend. By including all scopes, we can understand the greatest source of our GHG emissions and identify the scope that we should be focusing on.
