Allied Biofuels FE LLC is moving forward with a USD 5.9 billion green aviation fuel project in Uzbekistan after signing land and water agreements with the government of Khorezm Region. The milestone was announced at the International Investment Forum in Khiva.

The facility, to be built in Tuproqqala District, will be the first fully integrated biorefinery for zero-carbon aviation fuels in Central Asia. Once operational, it is expected to produce 382,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), 152,000 tonnes of electro-synthetic SAF (e-SAF), and 11,000 tonnes of green diesel annually.

The plant will feature 2 GW of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, supporting Uzbekistan’s efforts to develop a climate-aligned aviation fuel supply chain.
