Why it's on ClimateTicker

SkyNRG is a genuine mitigation-focused business: its core product, sustainable aviation fuel, delivers verified lifecycle GHG reductions of up to 80% versus fossil jet fuel, and it pioneered the world's first commercial SAF flight in 2011. The company is transitioning from a pure trader/aggregator into an infrastructure developer, with its DSL-01 HEFA plant under construction in Delfzijl (Netherlands), and projects planned in Sweden (e-SAF via captured CO2) and Washington State (US). Investors should note that SAF still represents a tiny fraction of total jet fuel use, its primary feedstock (used cooking oil) faces documented supply constraints and fraud risk industrywide, and SkyNRG has not published SBTi-validated near-term or net-zero targets for its own operations.

mitigationSkyNRG earns revenue by sourcing, blending, and distributing SAF to airlines and corporate customers worldwide via long-term offtake agreements (reported at over $4 billion), and is expanding into direct SAF production through wholly-owned facilities; it also monetises a Book & Claim programme that allows buyers to claim SAF emission reductions regardless of physical proximity to supply.

Controversy & Greenwashing Watch

lowHEFA feedstock scarcity and scalability ceiling

SkyNRG's own 2025 Market Outlook warns that HEFA feedstock demand will exceed supply after 2030, creating a structural risk that the company's current production model cannot scale to meet aviation's net-zero needs without transition to costlier advanced pathways.source ↗

lowNo SBTi-validated targets for own operations

Despite being a sustainability-positioned company active since 2009, SkyNRG has not submitted or validated science-based targets for its own GHG emissions through the SBTi, a meaningful gap relative to investor expectations and its B Corp positioning.source ↗

mediumUCO feedstock fraud risk (sector-wide)

SkyNRG's primary production pathway (HEFA) relies on used cooking oil, a feedstock the US EPA audited in 2024 amid sector-wide concerns over mislabelled virgin oils; no specific fraud has been attributed to SkyNRG but the supply chain exposure is material.source ↗
