SkyNRG, a leading company in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), is launching Project Runway. This groundbreaking initiative brings together airlines and corporates to provide easy access to SAF. The project will support airlines in navigating the complexities of SAF procurement and provide an effective way to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Project Runway is grounded in the belief that involving more stakeholders across the industry is vital for the development, resilience and scaling of the market. Microsoft joining as a founding member builds upon the longstanding relationship between the two companies.

Under the Book & Claim approach, Project Runway not only allows airlines access to SAF, but also allows them to share the SAF price premium with ambitious corporates aiming to reduce their own Scope 3 aviation emissions. With SkyNRG providing highly sustainable SAF and founding project member Microsoft acting as the initial Scope 3 SAF claims buyer, airlines can be confident in proceeding on their SAF journey.

Through Project Runway, airlines can adopt a robust SAF strategy, overcome complexities of early SAF procurement and take action with confidence. SkyNRG’s extensive experience and the use of Book & Claim make it easy to purchase SAF. This Project enables airlines to access all the resources and information they need to reach their voluntary SAF goals ahead of any future obligations.

SkyNRG sees the need for a shift to a broader adoption of SAF strategies and believe access to and expansion of capacity go hand in hand. Project Runway provides a programmatic approach to further broaden and diversify the SAF market; the addition of new players will support the adoption of recently set Book & Claim registries and shape the development of accounting frameworks. SkyNRG is committed to providing education and support where needed, as well as acting as a trustworthy partner and advisor.
