SkyNRG earns RSB certification

SkyNRG, a manufacturer of sustainable aviation fuel, has been awarded certification from the RSB Services Foundation, making it the world's first biofuel operator to earn the RSB certification for its supply chain of renewable jet fuel including separation, blending and logistics.

The audit was conducted by certification body DNV Business Assurance.

'Curbing the carbon dioxide footprint of jet fuel is key with the continuous growth in aviation around the world,' says Peter Ryus, CEO of RSB Services Foundation. 'That is why what SkyNRG has done with certifying their jet fuel supply chain to adhere to RSB's rigorous standards is so important. SkyNRG is setting a new precedent for aviation sustainability practices.'

The company, founded in 2009 by Air France, KLM Group, Argos and Spring Associates, supplies more than 15 airlines with its sustainable kerosene.

Maarten van Diijk, a member of the RSB's board of directors, comments: 'It is a milestone for sustainable jet fuels in general and a confirmation towards the market that RSB is ensuring that biofuels deliver on their promise of sustainability. This gives aviation, for the first time ever, the possibility to fly on RSB-certified fuel.'
