Uzbekistan moves forward with $6 billion biofuel project in Khorezm
In New York, The Times of Central Asia reported that Uzbekistan has announced a major step toward developing large-scale clean energy infrastructure with the signing of a binding implementation agreement for a $6.08 billion biofuel project in the Khorezm region.
The Project Implementation Agreement (PIA) was signed between Allied Biofuels FE LLC and the regional government of Khorezm, formalizing plans to build what the developers describe as Central Asia’s first integrated biofuel refinery.
According to Allied Biofuels, the project has been granted special economic zone status under a presidential decree, providing tax exemptions and customs incentives aimed at ensuring long-term financial stability and investor confidence.
Once completed, the facility is expected to produce sustainable aviation fuel, electro-synthetic SAF (e-SAF), and green diesel at an industrial scale. Annual output is projected to reach approximately 160,400 tons of SAF, 257,000 tons of e-SAF, and 5,040 tons of green diesel.
The refinery will be supported by a large renewable energy system, including battery storage and hydrogen production capacity, according to the report.
