Speaking at
a lecture recently held at the
Royal Jordanian Command and Staff College on the
future of renewable energy and green hydrogen in Arab countries, Taani said that
Jordan’s geographical location is an economic catalyst for its future in the
energy transition at the Middle East region level, in addition to its
electrical interconnection with all Arab countries and ongoing efforts to
develop the power infrastructure.
According to
an AREC statement issued on Saturday, Taani noted that many Arab countries,
including Jordan, have taken "practical" steps to reach carbon
neutrality in 2050, expecting that the volume of Arab investments in renewable
energy and green hydrogen will reach about $1 trillion by 2040.
Investment
in this sector provides green job opportunities for Arab youth, he said,
stressing that Jordan has "plenty of trained technical competencies and
qualified companies to support the green economy in Jordan and the Arab
world."
Taani also stressed the AREC's endeavor to
achieve its "noble" mission to serve Arab societies and governments
to achieve energy sovereignty and self-sufficiency through energy
transformation and sustainable development in Arab countries.
