MAIRE to consider development of SAF platform in Kazakhstan

The initiative will assess the overall feasibility of SAF production based on Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) feedstocks available in Kazakhstan, supporting the country’s ambition to strengthen its role as a regional hub for SAF. Under the MoU, the parties will collaborate on evaluating infrastructure options, stakeholder engagement, and the definition of a suitable investment framework, potentially within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). Nextchem will leverage its expertise to identify and advance key technology pathways, while also assessing technical, commercial, and financial feasibility.

Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, commented: “This MoU represents a meaningful step in advancing SAF production in Kazakhstan. The country’s strategic position at the intersection of key Europe-Asia routes creates favourable conditions for the development of SAF supply chains, and thus a compelling opportunity to combine industrial development with long-term market potential. MAIRE, through Nextchem, will bring its technological expertise to support the definition of efficient solutions, contributing to the country’s ambition to strengthen its role as a regional SAF hub.”
