ENOC Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Abu Dhabi-based Allied Biofuels Holding to explore the offtake and distribution of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Electro-synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF) across local, regional and international markets.
The partnership will see both companies establish a dedicated working group to assess the commercial feasibility of a long-term distribution pathway for the fuels, which will be sourced from Allied Biofuels' integrated production facility currently under development in Uzbekistan. A formal supply agreement is expected to follow, ahead of the facility commencing operations.
With global demand for SAF far outpacing current production capacity, the agreement positions ENOC as a key link in closing that gap. As a leading aviation fuel supplier in the region, the group is looking to build out the full value chain, from production and certification through to distribution and reliable offtake.
ENOC Group CEO Hussain Sultan Lootah said the agreement reflects the company's strategic commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions in line with the UAE's SAF Roadmap 2030 and Net Zero 2050 Strategy, with a focus on making sustainable aviation fuel commercially viable and operationally dependable.
Allied Biofuels Managing Director Alfred Benedict described ENOC as a respected energy leader with deep aviation fuel expertise, adding that the MoU marks an important step toward building a credible and scalable supply platform capable of supporting long-term decarbonisation across the sector.
Allied Biofuels' Uzbekistan facility is designed to produce both SAF and e-SAF, with a production model aligned to the long-term sustainability commitments of the UAE and the broader international aviation community. The partnership reinforces ENOC's growing role as a strategic enabler of the lower-carbon aviation sector.
