Allied Biofuels Advances $6.1Bn Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project in Uzbekistan
Allied Biofuels has signed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract with China’s Sinopec Engineering Group for a major sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and e-SAF project in Uzbekistan valued at approximately $6.1 bn.
The agreement includes a provision to roll over into a full Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract once the FEED phase is completed, marking a significant step toward the project’s development.
The planned facility is expected to produce both SAF and synthetic e-SAF, supporting global efforts to decarbonise the aviation sector. The project aligns with Uzbekistan’s ambitions to expand its renewable energy and green industrial capacity while attracting large-scale foreign investment.
According to the company, the complex is designed to become one of the largest sustainable aviation fuel projects in the region, helping meet growing international demand for low-carbon aviation fuels. The development is also expected to create jobs, stimulate technology transfer, and strengthen Uzbekistan’s position in emerging green energy markets.
The FEED stage will focus on detailed engineering, project optimization, and preparation for construction before a final investment decision is made. Once operational, the facility is expected to contribute to global aviation industry’s emissions-reduction goals while supporting Uzbekistan’s broader economic diversification strategy.
