KazMunayGas and LanzaJet advance to next stage of SAF project in Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan, Kazinform reported that KazMunayGas and LanzaJet reviewed during a recent meeting the results of the recently completed Feasibility Study and discussed the next steps in the development of a SAF production plant in Kazakhstan.

As a result of the meeting, a Framework Agreement was signed between the parties, according to the report.

This document formally endorses the results of the Feasibility Study and marks the launch of a new project phase — Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), during which all technical and economic solutions for the construction of the plant will be developed. Previous market analysis indicates that by 2030, SAF consumption in Kazakhstan could reach up to 70,000 tons annually, according to the report.

“This collaboration represents a significant contribution to strengthening bilateral cooperation and will support our low-carbon development goals and the deployment of cutting-edge technologies. Overall, the project will positively impact the development of the biofuels market, improve the environmental performance of the aviation sector, and enhance Kazakhstan’s transit potential,” stated Askhat Khassenov.
