Proud to contribute to the decarbonisation of aviation and fossil-fuel sectors in Kazakhstan and beyond! We’ve commissioned and completed a pre-feasibility study on the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel. The aviation industry is one of the world’s high greenhouse gas-emitting and hard-to-decarbonize sectors. To help develop an effective approach to reducing these emissions and decarbonising the sector, the study reviewed the decarbonisation strategies of key stakeholders, analysed the global sustainable aviation fuel landscape, and examined its supply and demand as well as the availability of feedstock. The study also analysed the current ASTM-approved SAF production technologies for their suitability for the local market and developed recommendations on the next steps to enable SAF market development in Kazakhstan. The study was carried out by ICF, a global advisory and technology services provider, and funded by the government of Japan through the Japan-EBRD Cooperation Fund. It was co-financed by Kazakhstan’s flag carrier, Air Astana, and Kazakhstan’s leading vertically integrated state-owned oil and gas company, KazMunayGas, and supported by the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan. The results of the study were presented at the 2nd Aviation Talks, themed 'Silk Road in the Sky – Kazakhstan Air Cargo Hub' on 21 June 2024 in Astana. The event was organised by Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan and The International Air Cargo Association TIACA.
