Jordan's Council of Ministers has approved a $1bn investment agreement for the construction of a green ammonia production facility by Jordan Green Ammonia, marking a significant step in the country's push to develop renewable-energy-based industrial infrastructure. Details on the project's production capacity, technology partner, power source, or commercial offtake arrangements have not been publicly disclosed. Jordan has abundant solar resources and has positioned itself as a potential green hydrogen and green ammonia hub serving European and Asian markets, supported by the Jordan National Green Hydrogen Strategy launched in 2022. The announcement comes as the Middle East conflict around the Strait of Hormuz has placed renewed global focus on green ammonia and alternative nitrogen supply chains that are insulated from natural gas price volatility. Jordan currently imports all of its fertilizer requirements and is exposed to the same supply disruptions affecting other Gulf-adjacent importers. The $1bn project, if constructed, would position Jordan as a small but symbolically significant producer of green ammonia in a region where conventional ammonia production has been disrupted. Detailed project parameters, financing arrangements, and a construction timeline are expected to emerge as the government moves from approval to contracting. Watch for an engineering contract announcement and power purchase agreement as key next milestones.
