The Axens technologies related to renewable fuel production processes, will be considered within the frame of the planned Feasibility study (FS) for the «Sustainable aviation fuel production in the RK» Project for 2024-2025.
This event marks a significant milestone in fostering collaboration between Kazakhstan and France, as well as between the companies Axens and KMG. Their successful partnership since 1997 in the energy sector has laid a strong foundation for Kazakhstan and KMG to embark on a successful energy transition. The preliminary feasibility study (pre-FS) for the construction of a SAF production complex project in Kazakhstan has already been successfully performed through a joint initiative of KMG with the participation of the subsidiary LLP “KazMunayGaz – Aero” and JSC Air Astana, and it received financial support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The next FS stage will further refine the project configuration and cost.
