Kazakhstan ready to build SAF plant

On April 9, Aviation LLC, a subsidiary of Kazakhstan’s National Oil Company (NOC), LanzaJet, a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology company, and KazFoodProducts LLP (KFP), an agro-industrial holding company, formally signed an agreement to initiate a feasibility study for the construction of an SAF plant in Kazakhstan.

The pre-feasibility study for the project was successfully completed in 2024, and the main feasibility study is currently being progressed and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, according to the report. During this period, the partners will conduct a comprehensive assessment of core elements such as site selection, capacity scale and raw material supply, and provide support for the final investment decision.

As an important energy country in Central Asia, Kazakhstan’s vigorous layout of sustainable fuels may bring new variables to the global SAF industry chain, and LanzaJet’s participation in the project highlights its internationalization and technological advancement, which is worth the industry’s continued attention.
