Plug Power, Allied Biofuels sign deal for eSAF project in Uzbekistan

Plug Power has signed a binding supply agreement with Allied Biofuels FE LLC (ABF) for up to 2 GW of its GenEco PEM electrolyzer systems to support the development of a landmark electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) project in Uzbekistan.

The agreement underpins ABF’s plans to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), eSAF, and green diesel, with a final investment decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Building on the previously announced 3 GW collaboration with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) in Australia, this new agreement brings the total contracted electrolyzer capacity between Plug and its Allied partners to 5 GW across two major projects. Plug’s technology will power ABF’s flagship SAF and eSAF facility in Uzbekistan, a strategically located site designed to supply global sustainable fuel markets.

“This agreement is proof that Plug delivers on what others are still planning,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. “We’re turning hydrogen commitments into real, operating projects at multi-gigawatt scale. Signing this supply agreement in Australia highlights our deep engagement in the global hydrogen economy and our ability to provide proven electrolyzer technology for SAF and eSAF production and decarbonization.”

“At Allied Biofuels, our mission is to deliver reliable, low-carbon fuel solutions to global markets,” said Alfred Benedict, Chairman of Allied Biofuels. “Partnering with Plug’s world-class electrolyzer platform ensures we can achieve the scale, reliability, and performance our customers expect. Finalizing this supply agreement marks a major milestone as we progress toward FID.”
