This planned initiative represents an investment of $5.9 billion and will establish Central Asia’s first fully integrated biorefinery for zero-carbon aviation fuels. The facility is designed to produce 382,000 metric tons per year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), 152,000 tons per year of Electro-Synthetic SAF (e-SAF), and 11,000 tons per year of renewable (green) diesel, supported by 2 GW of PEM electrolysers. The project represents the first step toward creating a climate-aligned aviation fuel supply chain in Uzbekistan and positioning the Khorezm region as an emerging hub for sustainable energy and industrial innovation.
