en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Jordanian government has approved a $1 billion green ammonia plant project, supported by a 500 MWh battery energy storage system, which the developer says lays the groundwork for production to commence by 2030. The project is being developed by Polish green hydrogen infrastructure company Hynfra in partnership with Abu Dhabi's Fidelity Group, located at the Port of Aqaba, with a planned annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes.

The project includes a 550 MW solar power plant to drive production, along with a 500 MWh energy storage system. The ammonia plant will be connected to the power supply via an independent transmission system, enabling off-grid operation. The developer stated that the cabinet approval is a "critical step" toward achieving financial close, which is targeted for September 2027.

The off-grid model is made possible by Jordan's new electricity law, which allows renewable energy projects to operate independently. The developer noted that the project leverages Aqaba's strategic location and logistics facilities, solidifying its status as a green industrial hub and enhancing Aqaba's role as a gateway for clean energy exports.
