en.Wedoany.com Reported - Jordan Green Ammonia (JGA) has announced that its flagship green ammonia production and export project in Aqaba has secured critical land rights. The joint venture, established by Hynfra and Jordan-based Fidelity Group, has signed a binding agreement with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA).
The contract covers over 1,000 hectares of land within a strategic industrial zone near the Port of Aqaba. This follows an investment agreement signed with the Jordanian government last month. The planned industrial complex is designed with an annual nameplate capacity of 120,000 tonnes of green ammonia, integrating a dedicated 550 MWp photovoltaic infrastructure and battery energy storage system. The project is currently in the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase, targeting financial close by the end of 2027.
Dr. Wael Suleiman, founder of Fidelity Group and CEO of JGA, stated that choosing Aqaba secures the fundamental pillars of the business strategy. Proximity to the port provides direct access to international trade routes, while year-round abundant solar radiation enables the generation of sufficient clean energy through a dedicated photovoltaic plant, ensuring energy autonomy and independence from the national grid. Combined with the stable regulatory framework of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, this offers a predictable cost structure and operational certainty, which are crucial for investment success.
Tomoho Umeda, President of Hynfra, stated that the energy transition is essentially a geographical issue, and countries that can combine abundant renewable energy with global trade routes will become the industrial centers of the next era. He noted that the project is currently in the FEED phase, with strong government support, secured land rights, and a clear path to market through offtake arrangements. These factors provide a level of predictability that is often difficult to achieve during the project development stage.
The facility is a key component of Hynfra's broader global development plan, which includes building green ammonia production facilities and clean energy hubs in countries such as Mauritania, Oman, Egypt, the Philippines, and the United States. In Jordan, the facility will leverage the deep-water port infrastructure of Aqaba to establish direct export routes to high-value, regulated markets in Europe and Asia.
