Sinopec Engineering to Design Central Asia's First Large-Scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel Complex
Sinopec Engineering has signed a front-end engineering design contract with Uzbekistan's Allied Biofuels FE LLC to develop Central Asia's first large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) complex. Located in Uzbekistan, the facility will produce approximately 160,000 metric tons of biomass-based SAF, 250,000 tons of e-SAF, and 5,000 tons of green diesel annually, using sorghum, rice husks, and straw as feedstock. Powered mainly by solar energy, the project aims to support Sinopec's low-carbon goals and enhance Uzbekistan's role as an aviation hub while supplying regional and export markets.
