February 13, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Technip Energies has been awarded a substantial contract by SkyNRG for the DSL-01 project, a new sustainable aviation fuel production facility to be developed in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.

The award covers engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF production facility. It follows the successful completion of the Front-End Engineering & Design phase by Technip Energies and marks a significant step in the long-standing collaboration with SkyNRG.

The DSL-01 project is designed to produce 100,000 tonnes per annum of SAF using the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway, processing sustainable waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil.

The project integrates an advanced feedstock pre-treatment unit and an on-site hydrogen plant based on Technip Energies’ proprietary Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) technology. This configuration is intended to improve cost efficiency and minimise lifecycle emissions, thereby enabling large-scale competitive production of SAF.

The contract represents Technip Energies’ sixth HEFA-based SAF project in Europe, reinforcing its position as a key enabler for sustainable aviation fuel capacities in the region.

Sylvain Cabalery, head of commercial, Project Delivery & Services business unit at Technip Energies, commented on the award: “We are pleased to have been entrusted by SkyNRG to deliver this important sustainable aviation fuel project. With a planned capacity of 100,000 tonnes 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, chief executive officer and co-founder of SkyNRG, described the milestone as defining for the company. “Reaching this milestone for DSL-01 is a defining step in our journey toward operating our own SAF production capacity,” he said. “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 decarbonisation.”
