Project development
SkyNRG and Skellefteå Kraft have secured shareholder approval to advance their SkyKraft joint venture into Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED). The decision follows due diligence on the project’s technical and commercial readiness. A final investment decision is targeted for 2028, and the facility is expected to be operational by 2032.
Facility and location
Planned for Näsudden in Skelleftehamn, northern Sweden, the facility is designed to produce 130,000 tonnes of electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF) annually. It will use renewable electricity, water and recycled CO₂. The project selected the site for its renewable energy resources, industrial capabilities and logistics connections.
Next steps
During FEED, the project will focus on developing commercial partnerships and financing structures, and securing public and regional support needed to reach the investment decision. The article cites ReFuelEU Aviation requirements and the European Commission’s synthetic aviation fuel sub-mandate as factors expected to drive demand for eSAF.
