E-fuels firm Allied Biofuels (ABF) will advance a $6bn planned 400,000 tonne-per-year alternative fuels plant in Central Asia, after signing a project implementation agreement (PIA) with the government of Uzbekistan.
According to ABF, the project, which is due to reach final investment decision (FID) in late 2026, could incorporate as much as 4.45GW of renewable energy systems, powering 2.4GW of electrolysers secured from Plug Power in late 2025.
It would produce a combined 417,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and eSAF – as well as 5,000 tonnes of green diesel – using feedstock of biogenic captured carbon dioxide, and almost 6,000 tonnes per day of biomass.
The PIA, secured alongside the Khorezm region’s government, is underpinned by a Presidential Decree from the Republic of Uzbekistan and, in recognition of the plant’s national significance, grants supportive measures including tax exemptions.
