    KazMunayGas and LanzaJet advance SAF project in Kazakhstan

    KazMunayGas (KMG) and U.S.-based LanzaJet have moved to the next stage of their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project. At a meeting in New York, KMG Chairman Askhat Khassenov and LanzaJet leadership signed a framework agreement approving the completed feasibility study and launching front-end engineering design (FEED) for the planned SAF plant in Kazakhstan.

    Market analysis projects SAF demand in Kazakhstan could reach 70,000 tons annually by 2030. Khassenov noted the project would strengthen cooperation, support low-carbon goals, and boost the country’s biofuel market and transit potential, according to KMG press service.

    LanzaJet is a global leader in alcohol-to-jet SAF technology, with supply agreements with major airlines including ANA, British Airways, and Virgin Atlantic.

    SAF is an environmentally friendly aviation fuel produced from renewable, non-petroleum resources. Its use in blending with traditional Jet A-1 jet fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%.
