ASTANA, Kazakhstan, November 11. Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas (KMG) held a meeting in Astana with U.S.-based LanzaJet to discuss the next phase of their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project in Kazakhstan, Trend reports via KMG.
The meeting included executives from LanzaJet, KazFoodProducts, Air Astana, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The parties reviewed key aspects of the SAF project, including the potential creation of an integrated structure for joint implementation. The project aims to build the first alcohol-to-jet SAF plant in Central Asia, positioning Kazakhstan as a regional technology hub and transit center.
