KBR获哈萨克斯坦首个SAF工厂PureSAF技术许可与工程设计合同

HOUSTON, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded a contract by KazMunayGas-Aero LLP (KMG-Aero), a subsidiary of NC KazMunayGas JSC, and KazFoodProducts (KFP) for Kazakhstan’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production plant.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will license the proprietary PureSAF® technology, invented and developed by Swedish Biofuels AB, and provide proprietary engineering design. The plant will leverage the alcohol-to-jet (AtJ) process for producing aviation fuel from alcohol-based feedstocks.
The project holds significant strategic importance as it supports the President of Kazakhstan’s directive to transform the country into an international aviation hub with strong transit potential. It will also enable the integration of domestically produced agricultural feedstocks into high-value, low-carbon fuel production value chains.
“We are honored to support KMG-Aero and KFP in advancing the national commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, recognizing the pivotal role of aviation decarbonization in achieving these strategic objectives,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “KBR’s PureSAF is a feed-flexible, bankable technology that is designed to deliver high SAF yields and supports the project across the full lifecycle. We look forward to closely collaborating and supporting the successful execution of this landmark SAF project.”
This award builds on other recent PureSAF project wins, reinforcing KBR’s position at the forefront of aviation decarbonization through continued process innovation and low-carbon technology deployment.
