Summary · why it matters

KBR has been awarded a contract by KazMunayGas-Aero and KazFoodProducts to support the development of Kazakhstan's first Sustainable Aviation Fuel production plant. Under the contract, KBR will license its proprietary PureSAF technology, invented and developed by Swedish Biofuels AB, and provide the proprietary engineering design for the facility. The plant will use an alcohol-to-jet process to convert alcohol-based feedstocks into SAF, and is expected to support the integration of domestically produced agricultural feedstocks into higher-value, low-carbon fuel production value chains. The project is strategically important for Kazakhstan because it supports the government's goal of developing the country into an international aviation and transit hub, while also creating a higher-value use for its agricultural resources. The latest contract builds on KBR's expanding PureSAF portfolio, which during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was selected for NorSAF's planned 100,000-ton-per-year SAF and e-SAF facility in Latvia and for Keppel and Aster's proposed SAF project in Singapore.
