Boeing, SkyNRG and SkyNRG Americas have partnered to focus on advancing the availability and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) globally.
Boeing will also invest in SkyNRG Americas’ SAF production project, for which Alaska Airlines is a previously-announced partner.
“Sustainable aviation fuels are safe, proven and offer the greatest potential to reduce our industry’s carbon emissions in the near, medium and long term,” said Boeing chief sustainability officer Chris Raymond.
“This partnership is an important milestone on our journey to decarbonise aerospace, while ensuring that its societal and economic benefits are available to people everywhere.”
Boeing, SkyNRG and SkyNRG Americas will work together to accelerate SAF development globally, focusing on scaling production capacity, building awareness and engaging stakeholders throughout the value chain, including airlines, governments and environmental organisations.
“We are extremely proud to take the longstanding Boeing-SkyNRG relationship to this new level. We have always been strong collaborators and through this teaming effort, we’re strengthening our relationship even further,” said Maarten van Dijk, managing director of SkyNRG.
SkyNRG sources and supplies SAF, develops production capacity, advises on policy decisions, manages corporate SAF programs and takes the high road on sustainability.
SkyNRG Americas is a new company focused on growing SAF production in North America.
Its first dedicated US production facility for SAF will supply airports and airlines on the West Coast. Boeing’s investment in the project includes the advance purchase of SAF from this facility for use in company flight tests and other operations.
