Boeing and SkyNRG partner to scale SAF globally
Boeing, SkyNRG and SkyNRG Americas have announced a partnership focused on scaling the availability and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) globally.
Boeing will also invest in SkyNRG Americas' SAF production project, for which Alaska Airlines is a partner.
"Sustainable aviation fuels are safe, proven and offer the greatest potential to reduce our industry's carbon emissions in the near, medium and long term," said Boeing chief sustainability officer Chris Raymond. "This partnership is an important milestone on our journey to decarbonise aerospace, while ensuring that its societal and economic benefits are available to people everywhere."
Boeing, SkyNRG and SkyNRG Americas will work together to accelerate SAF development globally, focusing on scaling production capacity, building awareness and engaging stakeholders throughout the value chain, including airlines, governments and environmental organisations.
"We are extremely proud to take the longstanding Boeing-SkyNRG relationship to this new level. We have always been strong collaborators and through this teaming effort, we're strengthening our relationship even further," said Maarten van Dijk, managing director of SkyNRG.
SkyNRG sources and supplies SAF, develops production capacity, advises on policy decisions, manages corporate SAF programmes and takes the high road on sustainability.
"We are thrilled to be in this partnership with Boeing and grateful for their leadership by providing an advance payment for SAF from our first facility. With this teaming agreement, SkyNRG Americas will be able to accelerate our efforts to expand the SAF industry throughout North America," said John Plaza, CEO of SkyNRG Americas.
The partnership builds on Boeing's long-term industry leadership and investment in SAF. The company began SAF test flights in 2008 and helped gain approval for commercial use in 2011.
