Chairman of KazMunayGas meets with the management of LanzaJet in the USA

Chairman of the Management Board of JSC NC KazMunayGas (KMG) Askhat Khassenov during his business visit (August 5-7) to the United States held a meeting with the CEO of the American technology company LanzaJet Jimmy Samartzis. The parties discussed the matters of strategic partnership for the production of environmentally sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Kazakhstan.

Mr. Khassenov thanked LanzaJet for the invitation to the USA and the opportunity to tour the LanzaTech laboratory in Chicago. He noted that KMG aims to reduce its carbon footprint by 15% by 2031 compared to 2019 levels, and developing the country’s biofuels market will support Kazakhstan’s goal of carbon neutrality. “Currently, the global demand for SAF is increasing. Accordingly, our company is considering SAF production in Kazakhstan,” said the Chairman of KazMunayGas.

In turn, CEO of LanzaJet Jimmy Samartzis emphasized the importance of Kazakhstan’s initial steps towards producing environmentally friendly jet fuel and expressed readiness to provide full technological support. LanzaJet specializes in SAF production technology from ethanol (“ethanol-to-jet” or “alcohol-to-jet”) and has long-term off-take agreements with major airlines. In January 2024, the company launched the world’s first commercial-scale LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels plant for SAF production from ethanol.

A memorandum of cooperation was signed as a result of the visit.

For reference:

SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) is a sustainable aviation fuel developed as an alternative to conventional jet fuel. It represents a promising tool for decarbonization of the aviation industry. SAF can be derived from bioethanol (ethanol), which is produced from plant and other renewable sources. It reduces carbon emissions by 80% compared to traditional jet fuel. Under the CORSIA program, the global aviation industry must limit total CO2 emissions to 2019 levels. The Nordic countries, Israel, the US and Australia are planning significant increases in the use of SAF by 2050. In Europe, all jet fuel must contain 2% SAF from 2025 onwards, and the use of eco-friendly jet fuel must rise to 63% by 2050.

  • Ability to launch currencies (e.g. liquidity pools and tokens) or blockchains from identities
  • Unlimited, permissionless scalability
  • Truly decentralized, credibly neutral infrastructure—no ICO, no premine, no dev or founder fees

Communities with existing ERC-20 tokens are encouraged to explore the benefits of migrating to the Verus ecosystem, particularly in light of its fair MEV-resistant DeFi, self-sovereign identity protocol and security for their users due to implementing all that functionality at the protocol layer.

The Verus Protocol is fully functional and accessible through Verus Mobile, to be found on Google Play and App Store. Interested individuals can experience the MEV-resistant DeFi firsthand by downloading the app or by meeting Verus community members at the upcoming conference.

United States, 5th Aug 2024, Grand Newswire

Jennifer Gasner’s debut memoir, My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis, has been honored with the BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2024 Book of the Year. This accolade recognizes outstanding achievements in nonfiction literature, and celebrates Gasner’s candid and raw exploration of life with a progressing disability.

Jennifer’s story is a testament to resilience, highlighting the importance of disability culture and community.

Jennifer’s passion for disability culture was ignited through her work with Independent Living Centers and further developed during her tenure as a mentor for What’s Next, a program for youth with disabilities. She also served as co-chair of UC San Diego’s Staff Association for staff with disabilities. As an ambassador for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), Gasner has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the condition, participating in Rare Across America to advocate for legislation supporting the over 25 million Americans living with rare diseases.

Introducing The Chronicles of Aitarbith: A Thrilling New Trilogy by K.I.S.

United States, 6th Aug 2024 – “A gripping, well-paced first installment with a resourceful female lead.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The much-anticipated release of The Chronicles of Áitarbith marks the debut of K.I.S., a talented new voice in the realm of fantasy literature. This first installment plunges readers into a world of royal intrigues, violent invasions, and hard-forged alliances, all centered around the formidable and complex protagonist, Ata.

 

 

Bitch. Bastard. Orphan.

These are the harsh labels society has bestowed upon Ata. However, her self-directed epithets cut even deeper: Spy. Liar. Traitor.

Ata’s life is one of secrecy and survival-driven destruction, all for the greater good. As a master of disguise and deception, she navigates a treacherous world, questioning old relationships and forging new ones, all while facing a ruthless enemy whose ambitions threaten the survival of the entire continent of Áitarbith.

In The Chronicles of Áitarbith, readers will follow Ata through an array of challenges. From navigating perilous court politics to engaging in brutal battles, her journey is fraught with danger and uncertainty. Amidst the chaos, Ata may even find love, though trust remains a scarce and precious commodity.

 

 

About the Author: K.I.S.

Procrastinator. Putterer. Escapist.

Growing up in sunny South Africa, K.I.S. was never far from a book, often found hiding out of sight, lost in the pages of a story. Her love for literature remains a cornerstone of her life. Today, she still cherishes the simple pleasure of a cup of tea, a comfortable armchair, and a good book. Her hobbies, including knitting and crocheting, and her affection for cats, paint the picture of a quintessential bookish, nerdy individual.

K.I.S. embarked on her writing journey at the tender age of seven, crafting a full-length story about two ducks on a farmyard adventure, typed on her mother’s dated typewriter. Despite her early start and her career as an English teacher, she found it challenging to complete her stories. Her literary ambitions, akin to those of Jo March in Little Women, persisted. She longed to share her tales beyond the supportive readership of her sisters and family.

With the release of The Chronicles of Áitarbith, K.I.S. has finally realized her dream. Her debut book offers a compelling narrative, rich with intricate plots and dynamic characters, set against the vivid and diverse backdrop of Áitarbith. This epic tale is a testament to her storytelling prowess and her deep understanding of human emotions and relationships.
