On June 17, 2026, according to official news from Jordan Kingdom TV, the Jordanian cabinet formally approved the land use cooperation plan, authorizing the signing of a special land agreement with China United Energy Group (UEG) to pave the way for the implementation of their jointly developed green hydrogen project. At this stage, efforts will focus on advancing pre-project feasibility studies, marking the entry of China-Jordan cross-border green hydrogen industry cooperation into a substantive implementation phase.
This cooperation project deeply aligns with Jordan's national energy development strategy and is a key layout project for the country to promote clean energy substitution and achieve ecological and environmental sustainable development. Building on its own new energy resource endowments, Jordan has been continuously advancing the green hydrogen and low-carbon fuel industries. The land agreement implemented this time will effectively assist Jordan in attracting high-quality international green hydrogen investment, addressing the shortcomings of its clean energy industry development, and accelerating the green transformation of its domestic energy structure.
Leveraging this China-Jordan green hydrogen cooperation project, Jordan will strive to build a regional green industrial base and clean fuel supply hub. After implementation, the project will effectively drive the cluster development of upstream and downstream related industries such as green ammonia, improve the local hydrogen entire industry chain layout, promote the extension of hydrogen applications from a single energy category to multiple fields such as industrial raw materials and clean fuels, and consolidate Jordan's regional advantage in the Middle East's green hydrogen industry.
From an industrial value perspective, this project will not only help Jordan reduce its dependence on traditional fossil fuels and increase its domestic clean energy self-sufficiency rate, but also assist it in seizing global low-carbon trade development opportunities, opening up international export channels for low-carbon products, and deeply participating in the division of labor within the global green energy industry chain. At the same time, the project is also an important practice of China-Arab green energy cooperation. By relying on the technological, capital, and project operation advantages of Chinese enterprises, combined with Jordan's land and solar resource advantages, it will achieve cross-border resource complementarity and industrial win-win outcomes, providing a high-quality model for international green hydrogen industry transnational cooperation.
It is understood that China United Energy Group has been deeply engaged in the new energy market outside China for many years. It had previously reached multiple clean energy cooperation consensus with the Jordanian government and has been continuously participating in the investment and construction of green hydrogen and renewable energy projects in the Middle East. The approval of this land agreement has laid a crucial foundation for the project's subsequent planning and construction, capacity implementation, and commercial operation. Subsequently, as the feasibility study is completed, the project will gradually enter the substantive construction phase, continuously releasing the potential of China-Jordan green energy cooperation.
