PARIS June 20 2011 - In the middle of the Paris Airshow week, SkyNRG, the Amsterdam based market accelerator for sustainable jet fuel announced that the company is ready to supply its launching airline customers with sustainable jet fuel now that ASTM certification has been approved. The first commercial flights powered by this newly certified fuel are expected to take place already this summer. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines made a first announcement today to do a "200 flights green zone programme" starting in September whereby the sustainable jet fuel is supplied by SkyNRG. Details of other launching airline customers couldn't be disclosed yet.

After two years of research and development the company has created a unique one-stop shop for airlines integrating the complete supply chain for sustainable jet fuels.

From feedstock-to-flight, the supply chain covers elements such as rigid selection of sustainable feedstock, refining contracts, logistics to any airport on the planet, quality assurance, into plane fuel service, insurance, marketing and project (co) funding with airports and end customers. "In this way we have tried to make the entry barrier for airlines, to embrace this new fuel era, as low as possible" says Managing Director Dirk Kronemeijer. "Ideally we want to see as many airlines as possible starting a green route in 2011 to maximize engagement with public, investors, government and other stakeholders. This will help to focus R&D efforts, accelerate industry scale up and enable (favorable) changes in legislation further driving this industry towards a real tipping point."

SkyNRG does not commit to one single feedstock or technology. The sustainability of alternative jet fuel depends on many factors, which are specific for each single case. To make the right decisions now and in the future, SkyNRG is advised by an independent Sustainability Board (in which 2 renowned NGOs and an academic institute hold a seat).

With refining relationships and quality insurance in place, and with solid distribution partners both in the EU and US on board, SkyNRG is ready for full into plane delivery of sustainable jet fuel.
