- KazMunayGas and LanzaJet signed a Framework Agreement for a SAF plant in Kazakhstan.
- The project moves to the Front-End Engineering Design phase.
- SAF consumption in Kazakhstan could reach 70,000 tonnes annually by 2030.
Project Advancement
KazMunayGas and LanzaJet have signed a Framework Agreement to advance their Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project in Kazakhstan. This agreement follows the completion of a Feasibility Study and marks the transition to the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase.
FEED Phase
During the FEED phase, all technical and economic solutions for constructing the SAF production plant will be developed. This phase is crucial for determining the project's viability and ensuring that all necessary components are in place for successful implementation.
Market Potential
Market analysis suggests that by 2030, SAF consumption in Kazakhstan could reach up to 70,000 tonnes annually. This indicates a significant opportunity for growth in the biofuels market within the region.
Environmental Impact
The project aims to improve the environmental performance of the aviation sector by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SAF, when blended with conventional Jet A-1 fuel, can cut emissions by up to 95%, contributing to low-carbon development goals.
