Technip awarded EPCC for SAP facility in Netherlands

Engineering firm Technip Energies says it has been awarded a substantial contract by SkyNRG for the DSL-01 project, a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility to be developed in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.

The award covers Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) for Europe’s first standalone greenfield SAF production facility. It follows the successful completion of the Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) 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/year 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.

This 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, it adds.
