Report Summary

1. Introduction
Power-to-X (PtX) technologies convert renewable electricity into synthetic fuels or chemicals (X), playing a key role in achieving climate targets and decarbonizing sectors like energy, industry, and transport. Germany and the EU have hydrogen strategies to support this transition.

2. Power-to-X (PtX) Technology

• Definition: Uses renewable electricity to produce hydrogen and other chemicals (including ammonia, methanol, liquids).
• Types:
  • Power-to-Hydrogen (electrolysis, steam reforming).
  • Power-to-Gas (hydrogen blending with natural gas, methane production).
  • Power-to-Liquids (e.g., jet fuel).
• Hydrogen Applications: Energy, industry (steel, fertilizers), transport (fuel cells, blending), and heating.

3. Role of PtX in Energy Transition

• Decarbonization: Reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers GHG emissions.
• Sector Impact:
  • Industry: Alternative to carbon-intensive processes (e.g., steel production).
  • Transport: FCEVs, shipping/synthetic fuels.
  • Heat: Hydrogen blending for buildings; micro-CHP systems.
  • Feedstock: Use in petrochemicals and circular economy.

4. Jordan’s Energy Context

• Energy Profile: Imports ~91% of energy; by 2030, aims to increase renewable share to 14%.
• Challenges: High fossil fuel dependency, low renewable integration, water scarcity.
• Opportunities: Green hydrogen reduces GHG emissions and boosts energy independence.

5. Green Hydrogen Challenges in Jordan

• Infrastructure: Limited hydrogen transportation/storage pipelines; blending with existing natural gas.
• Water Scarcity: High water demand for electrolysis; need for desalination supports.
• Cost: Green hydrogen production is 2–3x costlier than grey hydrogen.
• Regulatory: Lack of clear policies and incentives, tracking hydrogen origin.

6. Recommendations for PtX Implementation

• Prioritization: Focus on high-value applications (e.g., green ammonia, blending).
• Policy: Establish a Green Hydrogen Steering Committee and national roadmap.
• Market Development: Set blending mandates, tax incentives, and pilot projects.
• Infrastructure: Plan hydrogen pipelines and ports (e.g., use Red Sea water for desalination).
• Cost Reduction: Use electrolyzers to balance electricity demand; collaborate with neighboring countries.
• R&D Investment: Enhance efficiency of electrolysis and standardize designs.

7. Country Case: Morocco’s Green Hydrogen Strategy

• Morocco has a National Hydrogen Strategy (2021); production targets: ~1300t/year ammonia (Pilot Plant) and 10,000t/year hydrogen by 2025.
• Collaborations with international partners and focus on exports.

8. Conclusion
PtX technologies offer a pathway for Jordan’s energy transition through green hydrogen. Key to success: policies, infrastructure, water management, and collaboration with regional/national stakeholders.
