Macquarie Asset Management invests in a leading SAF platform SkyNRG

16 November 2023

Macquarie Asset Management has today announced its initial investment of up to €175 million in SkyNRG.

This new investment will support SkyNRG’s next phase of growth and help achieve its ambitious goal to become a major SAF producer through the development and operation of SAF production facilities. By 2030 SkyNRG aims to build its dedicated SAF facilities in Europe and the US, in cooperation with strategic offtake partners. To date, SkyNRG has secured partnerships with, amongst others, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Boeing with envisaged long term commitments of up to €4 billion in SAF purchases.

SkyNRG has been at the forefront of the development of SAF since it was founded over 14 years ago by, amongst others, Theye Veen and Maarten Van Dijk. They initially focused on creating a market for SAF and supplied the world’s first commercial flight using SAF in 2011. Since then, SkyNRG has expanded and is active in R&D, advisory services and in selling SAF. Today, the company provides SAF to airlines and corporates around the world and is still one of the leading and most active participants on the SAF market.
