SkyNRG's mission is to help create and accelerate development of a market for sustainable jet fuel. Fuel which is safe, sustainable and affordable.
SkyNRG develops and sells sustainable jet fuel for the global aviation market based on a unique low cost operating model. SkyNRG is targeting the need amongst commercial airlines, at the lowest possible increase in operating cost, to deliver the environmentally attractive prospect of a reduced carbon dioxide footprint from its fuel usage as well as a reduction in exposure to volatile fossil fuel pricing.
SkyNRG was launched following the KLM biofuel test flight November 2009. Founding partners are AIR FRANCE KLM Group, North Sea Group and Spring Associates. It has developed the technical, supply chain and marketing capabilities to deliver sustainable jet fuels to any commercial airline globally. SkyNRG’s sustainable jetfuel is a HRJ (Hydrotreated Renewable Jetfuel) product which was recently ASTM-certified for commercial aviation use. The company has a proven track record; supporting KLM to achieve it’s first trial flight and subsequent commercial flights.
The road to sustainable aviation
SkyNRG believes the desired future can only be achieved by taking affirmative action today. Development of conversion technology is not our play. We can however create a market pull, enforce stringent sustainability requirements and support the shift to desired feedstock partners.
We therefore will:
- closely monitor new technology developments
- stimulate development of future gen. feedstock
- create a market for the HRJ route and start building the infrastructure
SkyNRG recognizes it has embarked on a “road towards sustainable aviation”. We will learn and adept along the way – in a very dynamic field. Today’s choices are likely to be replaced by other choices in the near future; the best way to get there is to start with today’s choices.
The feedstock used will always adhere to stringent sustainability criteria:
- formal certification standards
- generic ‘do no harm’ and ‘do more good’ principles
- approval from our sustainability board.
We do foresee using transitional feedstock – good for development of the infrastructure, truly sustainable at smaller volumes but at best only a small part of the total solution in 2050.
