Synkero is a project development start-up company incorporated in the Netherlands, focused on advancing the production of sustainable aviation fuel.
Its primary activity involves developing a commercial-scale facility in the Port of Amsterdam to manufacture e-SAF, a synthetic jet fuel produced via the Fischer-Tropsch process or similar power-to-liquid technology using green hydrogen generated from renewable electricity and carbon dioxide captured from industrial sources or the atmosphere.
The planned plant aimed to produce approximately 50,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually, leveraging existing kerosene pipeline infrastructure connecting the port to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for distribution.
Synkero was established in 2021 through collaboration with aviation and port industry partners, including SkyNRG, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the Port of Amsterdam, Schiphol Group, and the City of Amsterdam. It functions as a small-scale entity with a handful of personnel, backed by these stakeholders rather than operating as a fully independent large corporation.
Although initial development steps including technology selection and site planning were completed, the project has been placed on hold pending resolution of key challenges such as the availability of affordable green hydrogen, suitable CO2 feedstocks, and electrical grid capacity in the Netherlands.
Within the chemical and energy industry, Synkero exemplifies pioneering efforts in e-fuels to support the decarbonization of the aviation sector, in line with European Union regulations promoting sustainable fuels.
