“Kazakhstan is the type of market that creates incredible potential across industries – agriculture, logistics, oil and gas, and aviation. Our collaboration at Lanzajet with KMG sets in motion regional leadership to advance lower carbon flight and decarbonization of aviation, economic development for the country, and energy security for the region,” said Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of Lanzajet.

“This collaboration represents a significant contribution to strengthening bilateral cooperation and will support our low-carbon development goals and the deployment of cutting-edge technologies. Overall, the project will positively impact the development of the biofuels market, improve the environmental performance of the aviation sector, and enhance Kazakhstan’s transit potential,” stated Askhat Khassenov.

The next phase of the project is set to get underway immediately following the signing of the agreement and the project is expected to support the anticipated SAF demand in Kazakhstan that is likely to hit 70,000 tonnes annually by 2030.
