Jordan’s Council of Ministers has formally approved the country’s first-ever green ammonia and hydrogen project — a $1 billion facility planned for the port city of Aqaba. Backed by a joint venture between the Japan-linked Hynfra Group and regional industrial firm Fidelity Group, the plant would run entirely off its own solar power and storage, independent of the national electricity grid. For a country that has long relied on energy imports, the approval marks an early but significant shift. Whether the project can move from political green light to operational reality — financial closure is targeted for 2027, with production expected by 2030 — is the question now taking center stage.
