Uzbekistan signs deal to develop sustainable aviation fuel supply
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Uzbekistan Airports JSC has signed a memorandum of understanding with Allied Biofuels to supply sustainable aviation fuel and electro-synthetic SAF (e-SAF) in the country.
Under the agreement, both sides will work together to develop a supply chain for SAF and e-SAF, with operations targeted to begin by 2030. The move is aimed at strengthening Uzbekistan’s position as a growing hub for sustainable aviation and low carbon transport in Central Asia, according to the report.
As part of the initiative, Allied Biofuels is developing a large integrated biofuels refinery in Uzbekistan. The facility is expected to produce about 160,400 tons of SAF, 257,000 tons of e-SAF and 5,040 tons of green diesel annually once fully operational.
The project, estimated to cost around $6.1 billion, is among the largest clean energy investments in the region. It will be powered by a renewable energy system with a capacity of 4.45 gigawatts, supported by battery storage and green hydrogen production using electrolysers.
