In New York, The Times of Central Asia reported that Allied Biofuels Uzbekistan has signed land and water agreements with the Khorezm regional government, marking a significant step toward building Central Asia’s first integrated biorefinery for zero-carbon aviation fuel.
The announcement was made during the International Investment Forum in Khiva, where Khorezm Governor Jurabek Rakhimov met with a company delegation led by Chairman and Managing Director Alfred Benedict, according to the report.
The $5.9 billion project will be located in Tuproqqal’a district in the city of Khorezm, and aims to establish a SAF supply chain in Uzbekistan. Once operational, the facility is expected to produce 382,000 tons of SAF, 152,000 tons of Electro-Synthetic SAF (e-SAF), and 11,000 tons of renewable green diesel annually. The refinery will be supported by 2 GW of PEM electrolyzers, making it one of the largest initiatives of its kind in the region, the report added.
