Allied Biofuels and Praj sign MOU for ethanol and ATJ plant in Uzbekistan

In Uzbekistan, Allied Biofuels FE LLC and Praj Industries Ltd have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop Central Asia’s largest ethanol production facility in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. Praj’s Technology for Ethanol Refinery will generate 890 metric tons per day (or 293,700 tons per annum) of 95 percent ethanol and capture biogenic CO2 from the 1G process. The Allied Biofuels project will utilise Ethanol from the 1G process to produce 160,400 tons per annum of Sustainable Aviation Fuel and 5,040 tons per annum of Green Diesel, whereas biogenic CO2 from the 1G process will combine together with the Synthesis Gas from Gasification process and Green Hydrogen made from 2,000 Mega Watt of PEM Electrolyzers to produce annually 257,000 tons of Electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF). The project represents the crucial first step in establishing Central Asia’s first integrated refinery producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Electro-Synthetic SAF (e-SAF), and Green Diesel.
