Jordan's Ambitious Plans for Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Jordan aims to produce 600,000 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 and increase output to 3.4 million tonnes by 2050, positioning itself as a leading producer.
  • Investments and partnerships with foreign firms are expected to drive growth in the green hydrogen and ammonia industry, aligning with the country's renewable energy goals.
  • The expansion of renewables in Jordan's energy mix from 1% to 27% over a decade demonstrates the country's commitment to sustainable energy sources.
  • Plans for a pumped storage project signify efforts to enhance the management of renewable energy resources within the country.
During an energy conference in Brussels, Amani Al-Azzam, the Secretary General of the Jordanian Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, outlined Jordan's ambitious plans for green hydrogen production. She highlighted that Jordan is on track to produce 600,000 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, with a potential surge to 3.4 million tonnes by 2050. This growth is expected to position Jordan as a key player in the green hydrogen and ammonia market. The country's efforts to expand renewables in its energy mix have been substantial, increasing from 1% to 27% over the past decade, with projections to exceed 30% by 2030. Al-Azzam also hinted at an upcoming pumped storage project that will enhance the management of renewable energy resources. These initiatives, coupled with investments and partnerships with foreign firms, are set to propel Jordan to the forefront of green hydrogen production, paving the way for a more sustainable energy future.
