The hydrogen produced by the facility in Delfzijl will be used by SkyNRG to make SAF from industrial byproducts and residue streams, such as used cooking oil.

HyCC, which is a joint venture between European electrochemical company Nobian and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, already has the necessary environmental permit for the project and is currently working towards taking the final investment decision (FID) next year. First hydrogen is expected to be produced in 2026.
