Allied Biofuels Signs Logistics Deal for $6.08B Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project
Key Facts
In a move that underscores Central Asia's growing role in the green energy transition, Allied Biofuels has signed a logistics cooperation agreement with Pro Logistic Services to design and implement international export infrastructure for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The project aims to establish dedicated rail and marine corridors to transport fuel from Uzbekistan to key markets in Europe and the GCC. Backed by a presidential decree in Uzbekistan, the total value of this ambitious initiative is estimated at $6.08 billion.
This development occurs as global competition for SAF supplies intensifies, with industry leaders like Neste and SkyNRG expanding capacity to meet stringent EU emission mandates. According to industry reports, the global SAF market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 45% through 2030 (per market research). Establishing logistics links between Uzbekistan and the Gulf represents a strategic diversification of supply chains away from traditional energy hubs.
Global markets are currently monitoring the OPEC meeting scheduled for July 13, 2026, which may influence broader energy prices and biofuel feedstock costs.
