Jordan Crude Oil Production
Jordan imported 2 Mt of crude oil in 2022, an increase of 16%, following a 15% decrease in 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).
The country has a refinery in Zarqa with a capacity of 60 kb/d (3 Mt/year), which produced 2 Mt of oil products in 2022. In addition, it imported 2.4 Mt of refined products.

Jordan Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Renewable Energy Law (2012) aimed for 10% of the country's energy 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 in 2020, as around 2 GW were installed, and solar and wind accounted for 20% in the power mix. The country has raised its target for the share of renewables in the power 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 CO2 Fuel Combustion/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%.
CO2 emissions from energy use increased by 11% in 2022 to 22 MtCO2, after a reduction of 6%/year between 2017 and 2021. From 2010 to 2017, these emissions rose by 4%/year, peaking at 25 MtCO2 in 2017.
