Agreement Signed in Jordan for Enhanced Green Hydrogen Generation
Jordan has taken a significant step forward in its clean energy journey with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for green hydrogen production. The ceremony, attended by officials from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, engineers involved in the green hydrogen initiative, and a specialized delegation from CTGI, marks a milestone in Jordan's quest to become a regional leader in clean energy and green hydrogen.
The MoU aligns with the government's efforts to leverage Jordan's abundant renewable energy resources and strategic location in the Middle East and Africa. It is also in line with the Economic Modernization Vision (2022-2033) in Jordan, which includes the transition towards clean energy and investment in green hydrogen projects.
The agreement outlines a framework for collaboration between the Jordanian government and CTGI, with the aim of producing 200,000 tons of green ammonia annually. This partnership is expected to bring investment, technology, and project development expertise in green hydrogen, aligning with Jordan’s evolving regulatory and infrastructure frameworks to realize the country’s clean energy and hydrogen production ambitions.
The signing of this MoU is the 13th agreement in the field of green hydrogen and green ammonia production for Jordan. It follows the recent approval of the 2025 Gas Bill by Jordan’s Cabinet, which extends the existing natural gas framework to include hydrogen, biogas, and biomethane, establishing a clear regulatory environment with competitive tendering, licensing, and tariff structures.
The Jordanian minister emphasized the importance of this partnership, noting it aligns with the government's broader efforts to position Jordan as a regional center for green energy production. He also reiterated the government's commitment to facilitating investments in the hydrogen industry, recognizing it as a strategic opportunity for both Jordan and international investors.
The Regional Director of CTGI, Mohammad Abu Atieh, commended Jordan's proactive support for CTGI's power generation services in the Kingdom. He expressed his company's readiness to contribute to Jordan's clean energy goals, particularly in the area of green hydrogen production.
The feasibility studies will determine the viability of establishing a new green hydrogen project in Jordan. The Jordanian ministry plans to continue its partnership based on the study's outcomes until a final investment agreement is reached.
This comprehensive approach places Jordan on track to become a key green hydrogen producer and regional clean energy hub. The country's strategic collaborations, such as those involving international partners like CTGI, are expected to solidify Jordan’s foothold in solar and green hydrogen technologies within the Middle East.
