Key Takeaways

  • Air Astana and KazMunayGas carry out a pre-feasibility study on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in Kazakhstan.

  • Air Astana's goal is to become the most sustainable airline in CIS and Central Asia, targeting net-zero emissions by 2050.

Air Astana, Kazakhstan's leading airline, has intensified its efforts towards a greener future for aviation in Kazakhstan.

The company has partnered with KazMunayGas, the country's state-owned oil and gas giant, to co-finance a pre-feasibility study on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production and usage in Kazakhstan.

This project, which has the backing of the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, displays Air Astana's effort toward sustainability and its goal of becoming the most ecologically aware airline in Central Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The comprehensive study, conducted by global advisory and technology services provider ICF, examines various aspects of SAF development in Kazakhstan. It analyses decarbonisation strategies currently employed in the aviation industry, investigates the global arena of SAF production, and assesses both supply and demand dynamics within the Kazakh market.

To create a sustainable and effective SAF market in Kazakhstan, the study also assesses how well various SAF production technologies fit the local environment.
