KazMunayGas Eyes Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
KazMunayGas, Kazakhstan’s national oil and gas company, is exploring the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to support the country’s green energy transition. The initiative aligns with recommendations from ICF, a global advisory and technology services firm, which proposed building a plant to convert bioethanol into SAF and expanding bioethanol production at the Bio Operations plant.
On March 5, Kazakh Minister of Energy Almasadam Satkaliyev met with Nicolas Rallo, regional director of the ICAO European and North Atlantic Office, to discuss Kazakhstan’s commitment to renewable energy and environmentally sustainable projects. The meeting emphasized the potential of SAF production as part of the nation’s broader green transformation strategy.
“Kazakhstan is ready to build a plant for sustainable aviation fuel production and is actively working to foster clean energy development. We believe the energy transition is only achievable with the active involvement of all stakeholders, and Kazakhstan is open to cooperation at all levels,” said Satkaliyev.
The officials highlighted the importance of international collaboration in advancing sustainable development, reinforcing Kazakhstan’s ambition to become a regional leader in green energy and eco-friendly innovations.
