Jordan Oil Production & Consumption
Jordan imported 2 Mt of crude oil in 2023, an increase of 16%, following a 15% decreasein 2021. This increase follows a long-term increasing trend of crude oil and oil products between 2010-2015, which was related to a significant rise in the consumption of fuel oil for electricity generation.
The crude oil used in the country is imported mainly from Saudi Arabia (79% in 2022).

Jordan Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Gas production, which began in 1989 (Risha fields), is limited (0.2 bcm in 2023). It is used for electricity generation. The country imported 3.6 bcm of natural gas in 2023 (-14%), mostly from Israel (83%) and the rest from Egypt.
A 15.5 km-long gas pipeline to export gas from the Leviathan field in Israel to Jordan was commissioned in 2019. It was laid near the southern end of the Dead Sea. Noble Energy and the Leviathan partners will supply 45 bcm of natural gas from the field over 15 years(3 bcm/year). Transit has been interrupted since the conflict in Israel.

Jordan Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Renewable Energy Law (2012) aimed for 10% of the country's power capacity mix to come from renewables in 2020, corresponding to a capacity of 1 800 MW, mainly from wind (1 200 MW) and solar (600 MW). This target was reached, as around 2 GW were installed, and solar and wind accounted for 20% of the power capacity mix in 2020. The country has raised its target for the share of renewables in the power capacity mix from 31% to 50% by 2030.
In the National Energy Strategy, the share of renewables in the total energy mix should reach 14% in 2030.

Jordan GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its updated NDC, Jordan strives to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 31% in 2030. A maximum of 5% of this reduction contribution will be unconditionally fulfilled by the country's own means compared to a BAU scenario. The country aims to improve efficient energy consumption in all sectors by 9%.
