Allied Biofuels advances $6.1 billion SAF project in Uzbekistan
In New York, The Central Times of Asia reported that Allied Biofuels has signed a engineering agreement with Sinopec Engineering Group for its planned sustainable aviation fuel and electro-synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) project in Uzbekistan.
The agreement was signed during the 5th Tashkent International Investment Forum. Under the front-end engineering design and detailed engineering contract, Sinopec Engineering Group will undertake front-end engineering and design, detailed engineering, systems integration, and cost development work for the project, laying the groundwork for a future engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract, according to the report.
The project, valued at approximately $6.1 billion, is expected to become Central Asia’s first large-scale integrated bio-aviation fuel complex. According to Allied Biofuels, the facility will combine biomass processing, advanced refining technologies, renewable energy systems, green hydrogen production, and power-to-liquid fuel technologies within a single industrial platform.
Once operational, the complex is expected to supply sustainable aviation fuels to both domestic and international markets at a time when airlines worldwide are seeking lower-carbon alternatives to conventional jet fuel, according to the report.
