Australia and Uzbekistan Plan $5.5 Billion Green Urea and Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project

The Investment Promotion Agency of Uzbekistan has signed an agreement with Australian clean energy infrastructure developer Allied Green Ammonia Pty Ltd (AGA) to explore the implementation of a USD 5.5 billion (EUR 4.84 billion) project aimed at producing green urea and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Uzbekistan.

The parties plan to develop a project targeting an annual output of about 800,000 tonnes of green urea, 350,000 tonnes of SAF and 35,000 tonnes of green diesel, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.

The facility, spanning about 7,000 hectares, will utilise up to 4 GW of renewable energy and 6,000 tonnes per day of biomass.

AGA and the agency, following extensive consultations, signed a memorandum of cooperation during the XIV Annual Investment Meeting (AIM Congress 2025) in Abu Dhabi. The pact sets the start of a collaboration effort to develop an investment project focused on the production of environmentally friendly aviation fuel, a press statement says.

The project aligns with the Central Asian country’s ambitions to become a regional hub for sustainable industrial development, as well as with AGA’s international expansion strategy.

The memorandum with AGA marks a bold step forward in accelerating Uzbekistan’s industrial transformation toward a green economy and entry into global clean energy markets, noted Mansurzhon Rasulev, acting director of the Uzbek agency.

AGA specialises in building green ammonia capacity and other clean energy projects globally. It is currently advancing a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia facility in the Northern Territory of Australia which is expected to produce nearly one million tonnes of green ammonia fuel per year.
