en.Wedoany.com Reported - July 14, 2026, Topsoe and Sasol announced that they will provide core technology licensing, engineering design packages, and technical services to Allied Biofuels for the construction of eSAF and bio-SAF production facilities in Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan. This collaboration integrates Topsoe's SynCOR™ autothermal reforming technology with Sasol's Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, forming the G2L™ integrated process route.
The plant will utilize SynCOR™ autothermal reforming and Sasol's FT conversion technology to gasify biomass, green hydrogen, and captured carbon dioxide as feedstocks to produce high-quality sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Through a Single Point License model, the facility can flexibly switch between eSAF and bio-SAF production routes.
This Allied Biofuels facility, with a target annual production capacity of approximately 300,000 tons of eSAF and SAF, is part of an integrated clean fuel development project with a total investment of $6.1 billion. The project is expected to have a total aviation fuel production capacity exceeding 400,000 tons. A final investment decision is planned for 2027, with full commercial operations targeted for 2030.
The project aims to serve domestic, regional, and international aviation markets. Current SAF demand and regulatory pressures continue to rise; for example, the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation has set clear eSAF supply targets for 2030 and beyond.
