Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that calls for Jordan Green Ammonia LLC (JGA) to undertake a preliminary feasibility study for a large-scale green hydrogen project.

The news was unveiled on Monday by Polish hydrogen company Hynfra PSA, which established JGA in cooperation with UAE-based chemical company Fidelity Group.

JGA has been tasked with providing a detailed work plan outlining the key milestones of the project. It is expected to prepare a technical report with a comprehensive pre-feasibility level desktop assessment of the full project value chain.

Subject to a successful study and a final investment decision, the project is to be developed on a greenfield site near the Port of Aqaba. It would be using desalinated seawater and dedicated renewable power.

“Our MoU serves as the blueprint for the collaborative efforts between private sector entities and the government to expand the potential of green hydrogen,” said Wael Suleiman, JGA and Fidelity Group CEO.
