KazMunayGas And KBR Move Forward On Central Asia's First Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plant
Kazakhstan’s state oil company, KazMunayGas, and US engineering firm KBR are progressing with the development of the country’s first sustainable aviation fuel plant. The project, which will utilize PureSAF technology, aims to produce 57,000 tons of jet fuel annually from 100,000 tons of bioethanol. The initiative is part of Kazakhstan’s efforts to consolidate its position as a key logistics and industrial hub for Eurasian air transport, and to reduce the aviation industry’s dependence on conventional petroleum products.
