November 28, 2024 [Chem Analyst]- Jordan has taken another significant step towards its renewable energy goals by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China’s Hangzhou Huading New Energy (HDsolar) to conduct feasibility studies for green hydrogen projects.
The agreement, signed by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Saleh Kharabsheh and HDsolar Regional Director Zhao Shifeng, outlines a framework for cooperation that could lead to the establishment of a large-scale green hydrogen project capable of producing 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually.
This latest agreement brings the total number of green hydrogen and green ammonia projects under consideration in Jordan to 14, demonstrating the country’s strong commitment to renewable energy. Eight investors have already submitted preliminary feasibility studies, with three nearing completions.
Minister Kharabsheh emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “This MoU represents a crucial step in realizing the Kingdom’s renewable energy ambitions. Based on the results of these feasibility studies, we will work closely with HDsolar to finalize a comprehensive investment agreement for the project.”
Zhao Shifeng, CEO of HDsolar, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the global significance of this agreement. He said, “This is the first agreement of its kind internationally, and it holds immense potential to stimulate investment in Jordan.”
