The project will produce 100,000 tons per year of SAF using the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway
Technip Energies has secured a substantial contract from SkyNRG to deliver the DSL-01 Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility, set to become Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF plant.
The award covers Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC), following Technip Energies’ successful completion of the Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) phase. The project will produce 100,000 tons per year of SAF using the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway, processing sustainable waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil.
The facility will feature an advanced feedstock pre-treatment unit and an on-site hydrogen plant powered by Technip Energies’ proprietary Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) technology. The setup is designed to improve cost efficiency and minimize lifecycle emissions, supporting competitive large-scale SAF production.
This marks Technip Energies’ sixth HEFA-based SAF project in Europe, strengthening its position as a key driver of sustainable aviation fuel capacity in the region.
Sylvain Cabalery, Head of Commercial, Project Delivery & Services at Technip Energies, said: "We are pleased to have been entrusted by SkyNRG to deliver this important sustainable aviation fuel project. 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, CEO and Co-founder of SkyNRG, added: “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.”
The contract, valued between €500 million and €1 billion, was recorded in Q1 2026 under Technip Energies’ Project Delivery and Technology, Products & Services segments.
