Allied Biofuels FE is advancing its flagship clean fuels project in Uzbekistan, following a binding Project Implementation Agreement with the Khorezm Region Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The project is being developed as Central Asia’s first integrated biorefinery designed to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), electro-synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF), and renewable diesel at industrial scale.

At full capacity, the facility is projected to produce approximately:

160,400 tonnes per annum of SAF

257,000 tonnes per annum of e-SAF

5,040 tonnes per annum of renewable diesel.

With an estimated capital value of approximately $6.08 billion (€5.1 billion) to be invested over a five-year period, the project stands among the largest clean energy infrastructure commitments ever undertaken in the region.

The project is expected to be powered by a large-scale integrated renewable energy platform. The energy system is planned to include:

4.45 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity

1,600 megawatt-hours of battery energy storage

2,400 megawatts of electrolysers for green hydrogen production.

Plug Power has been selected as the electrolyser technology provider.

The project has been designed to go beyond conventional fuel production. Its concept includes the capture and conversion of biogenic carbon dioxide into electro-synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel, while also utilising approximately 5,775 tonnes per day of agricultural feedstock.

This integrated model reflects a closed-loop industrial approach aligned with the principles of sustainable production, carbon reduction, and responsible resource utilization. It demonstrates how industrial development and environmental performance can be advanced together at scale.

The execution of the Project Implementation Agreement is not only a project milestone; it is also a powerful signal to investors, multilateral institutions, export credit agencies, and strategic partners that Uzbekistan is positioning itself as a credible destination for transformative clean energy capital.
