The objective is to identify strategic priorities and options that will drive the development of the green hydrogen industry in Jordan.

These studies have primarily examined potential sources of future demand, export opportunities, key customers, and investment requirements, as highlighted in the statement.

The workshop provided an opportunity for partners to address inquiries and contribute to the proposed action plan. Key areas of focus included outlining the main activities necessary for sector development, addressing partner requirements, and addressing challenges faced by green hydrogen consumers, as emphasized in the statement.
