KLM announces start of construction of the Netherlands’ first SAF plant with SkyNRG
In the Netherlands, KLM, together with SkyNRG announced the start of construction of the first facility in the Netherlands fully dedicated to the production of sustainable aviation fuel.
KLM was a co-founder of SkyNRG in 2009 and has been closely involved in developing the SAF market from the outset. Beginning in 2028, the plant is expected to produce its first volumes of SAF. KLM has committed to purchasing at least 75,000 tons annually—representing 75% of the plant’s total output.
“As the first airline in the world, our long-term offtake agreement directly contributes to the financing and realization of this facility. Today, together with SkyNRG and other invited guests, we mark a milestone by celebrating the start of construction, making this project finally tangible. I am proud that KLM, as a co-founder of SkyNRG and the largest purchaser of the fuel, is taking an important step in scaling up SAF production in the Netherlands and further advancing the sustainability of aviation,” said Marjan Rintel, CEO of KLM.
