Jordan’s Council of Ministers approves green hydrogen development mechanism
In a press statement, the Ministry indicated that the mechanism constitutes a comprehensive concept paper that outlines a strategic vision to transform Jordan into a regional hub for green hydrogen production. This vision leverages the country’s abundant renewable energy resources—solar and wind—and the vast areas suitable for developing green hydrogen production and export projects across the Kingdom.
The paper, prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, highlights Jordan’s natural and regulatory advantages, which make it an attractive environment for investment in this vital sector.
The approved mechanism includes a comprehensive plan to facilitate investment in green hydrogen projects, starting with the identification of strategic sites for renewable energy production in the southern region of the Kingdom, and the allocation of an industrial complex in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone for establishing green hydrogen plants and water desalination facilities.
The mechanism also involves the development of shared infrastructure for green hydrogen projects, particularly in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone. This includes facilities for water desalination, green ammonia storage, export ports, and other essential shared components necessary for the implementation of such projects.
