Just do it for sustainable aviation fuel:SkyNRG

Following a KLM biofuel demonstration flight in 2009, the airline joined with North Sea Group and Spring Associates to launch SkyNRG. A joint venture with a single mission to make the market for sustainable and affordable aviation fuel. Although all players believe cost will eventually decrease when technology and scale advances, the founding companies realised a ‘just do it now’ attitude was required to speed up this development. In this light, first commercial volumes are essential in engaging investors, governments, NGOs and customers and to accelerate a market tipping point.

To create these first volumes, SkyNRG has taken a downstream, bottom-up approach and are aggregating demand from aviation players across the world. They literally help ‘make’ the market by delivering a full ‘feedstock to flight’ proposition that will help establish green routes across the world, whilst doing everything possible to keep it affordable for the customer by smart supply and partner strategies.

On top of selling and promoting sustainable aviation fuel, SkyNRG is putting a lot of effort in guaranteeing sustainability as they believe it to be the most crucial factor in making this emerging market a success. Next to their Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels partnership they have also installed an independent Sustainability Board consisting of leading NGO’s and scientists advising on all feedstock and technology decisions.
