Al-Kharabsheh added that the MoU represents a key step toward enhancing the investment environment for green hydrogen projects. He affirmed the ministry’s commitment to facilitating the implementation of preliminary studies on the ground, ensuring economic and technical feasibility while promoting private sector participation in this promising field.
For his part, Lei Guimin expressed his gratitude to the ministry for its trust, noting that the company has been economically active in Iraq for the past two years, reflecting its regional expertise and readiness to operate in the Jordanian market.
The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of producing 200,000 tons of green ammonia annually for export purposes, at a total cost of $1.155 billion USD, using desalinated seawater and renewable energy generated from the best sites in Jordan at the lowest possible cost.
Additionally, the study will define the required land area and the key technical phases of the project.
