SkyNRG, a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer, has partnered with Skellefteå Kraft, one of Sweden’s largest renewable energy producers. Under the name Project SkyKraft, the two companies will pursue the development of a SAF plant near Skellefteå Harbor using renewable energy and CO2 (eSAF).

With access to 100% renewable electricity supplied by Skellefteå Kraft from wind and hydroelectric power, the facility will be able to provide continuous and cost-effective eSAF production, supporting the EU’s decarbonization goals and helping the aviation industry to reach its net-zero emissions aspirations.

Expected to begin operations in 2030, the plant is slated to produce 100,000 tonnes of SAF a year at full capacity.

“We are proud to be partnering with Skellefteå Kraft, as our complementary skills and shared sustainability vision make this a unique location for eSAF production,” explained SkyNRG CEO Philippe Lacamp. “We are pleased to see the progress on this project and are committed to helping it reach completion.”
