ABOUT DSL-01

SkyNRG is constructing a frontrunning renewable fuels facility in Delfzijl, Netherlands, called "DSL-01". The facility will use the Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway to convert residual fats and greases into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Other renewable products, such as butane, propane and naphtha, will be formed as by-products.

DSL-01 is the first facility in Europe dedicated entirely to SAF and its by-products. Once operational, it will produce 100,000 tonnes of SAF and 35,000 tonnes of sustainable by-products per year, cutting greenhouse gas emissions by around 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.

Construction started in 2026, with first fuel expected in 2028. The project includes the main facility, pipelines, and temporary work areas. At DSL-01, you will be part of a team building a state-of-the-art industrial plant from the ground up, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
