Mass Group Holding (MGH) has formalized a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Jordan's energy ministry, marking a collaborative effort to investigate the development of green hydrogen projects throughout the country. The initiative aims to target an annual production of 180,000 tons of green ammonia.
As part of the agreement, the Amman-based group will initiate preliminary feasibility studies, according to the announcement made by the ministry on Tuesday. Following the completion of these studies, contingent upon the outcomes, the ministry intends to progress to a framework agreement, ultimately leading to the final investment agreement for the envisioned green hydrogen projects, as stated by Energy Minister Saleh Al-Kharabsheh.
Al-Kharabsheh emphasized that the memorandum aligns with the government's broader objective to position Jordan as a regional hub for green energy production. This strategic move capitalizes on the country's geographical significance in the Middle East and Africa. The government has already entered into seven agreements with both local and international companies for feasibility studies related to green hydrogen projects across Jordan.
MGH Chairman Ahmad Ismail Saleh expressed approval for the government's increased focus on green hydrogen investments, underscoring Jordan's strategic location and its ample wind and solar energy resources.
Active in the renewable energy sector, MGH currently operates a 100-MW wind park situated approximately 130 km south of Amman, Jordan's capital. The Al-Tafilah wind farm has been operational since 2020. Beyond its energy ventures, MGH extends its footprint to include cement and steel plants in Iraq and Sudan.
This collaborative effort signifies a significant step toward advancing Jordan's renewable energy ambitions and fostering partnerships between the government and private entities to harness the potential of green hydrogen production.
