ENOC Group and Abu Dhabi-based Allied Biofuels Holding have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the procurement and distribution of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and its electro-synthetic version (e-SAF) in regional and international markets.

The agreement supports the UAE's strategy for sustainable aviation fuel development until 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The parties are studying the economic model for long-term supplies and the prospects for scaling up the project.

The production base will be located at Allied Biofuels' facility, which is under construction in Uzbekistan and focused on producing SAF and e-SAF for export. Before the plant's launch, a joint working group is planned to assess logistics and supply chains.

Upon completion of the analysis, a long-term contract may be concluded. It is noted that global demand for sustainable aviation fuel is growing faster than supply, making this direction strategically important for the aviation industry.
