KazMunayGas and LanzaJet Discuss the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project in Kazakhstan

12.03.2025

As part of the working visit to the United States, Askhat Khassenov, Chair of the Management Board of NC KazMunayGas JSC (KMG), met with Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of the American technology company LanzaJet.

The parties discussed the matters of further development of bilateral cooperation aimed at creating production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in our country.

During the conversation, A. Khasenov noted that the partnership with LanzaJet opens up prospects for the development of sustainable energy solutions. Implementation of low-carbon alternative fuel production technologies is important for Kazakhstan.

KMG’s head expressed appreciation to Mr. Samartzis for LanzaJet's interest in the sustainable aviation fuel plant construction project in Kazakhstan. The parties confirmed their readiness to accelerate the development of the project feasibility study (FS).

— Our collaboration will make a substantial contribution to achieving low-carbon development goals and introduce the latest technologies, and will help KMG reduce emissions by 15% by 2031 against the 2019 level. In general, the project will have a serious impact on the development of the biofuel market and transit opportunities in Kazakhstan, noted A. Khassenov.

The pre-feasibility study development stage was completed earlier. The FS is expected to be completed this year

For reference:

LanzaJet is known for developing certified technology for producing SAF from ethanol (alcohol-to-jet). The company has long-term SAF supply agreements with major airlines, including All Nippon Airways, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. LanzaJet's alcohol-to-jet technology can use ethanol obtained from any bio- or non-bio-based feedstock, considerablyreducing greenhouse gas emissions (up to 95%) and enhancing energy efficiency.
