Jordan's Strategic Move: Leading the Regional Green Hydrogen Revolution
Key Ideas
  • Jordan's Cabinet approved a comprehensive framework to accelerate green hydrogen development, positioning the country as a regional hub for production.
  • The strategy capitalizes on Jordan's natural advantages like solar and wind resources, offering regulatory incentives to attract investment.
  • Infrastructure development includes desalination units, green ammonia storage, and export terminals in Aqaba, supported by existing legislation and incentives for investors.
  • A national committee has been formed to oversee the strategy's implementation and ensure alignment with broader goals of enhancing food security and building a green economy.
Jordan is actively pursuing the development of green hydrogen as a key component of its transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. The Cabinet's approval of a comprehensive framework signals the country's commitment to accelerating green hydrogen projects, with a focus on becoming a regional hub for production. The strategy, led by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, highlights Jordan's natural advantages such as abundant solar and wind resources, alongside regulatory incentives that make the country appealing for investment in the green hydrogen sector. In particular, infrastructure developments in Aqaba will support the production of green hydrogen, with plans for desalination units, green ammonia storage, and export terminals. To attract investors, the government is offering incentives under existing legislation and has established a clear contractual process to guide interested parties through the investment journey. Furthermore, the formation of a national green hydrogen committee underscores the importance of stakeholder collaboration in implementing the strategy and aligning it with broader national goals. Recent agreements with companies like Jordan's Philadelphia Solar and Germany's Enertrag for feasibility studies demonstrate tangible progress towards establishing Jordan as a regional leader in green hydrogen production.
