Jordan transforms natural resources into jobs
The article discusses the efforts of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Jordan to enhance the exploitation of natural resources and transform them into economic and developmental opportunities. The report highlights renewable energy projects, such as solar energy systems targeting 104 municipalities, which provide approximately 3.4 megawatts and save around 550,000 dinars annually, in addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 3,838 tons each year. It also covers investments in energy within the industrial and agricultural sectors, aiming to achieve 40% of the electricity generation mix from renewable sources by 2035. In the mining sector, Jordan is working on a copper exploration and development project, as well as establishing a processing plant that will create over 800 direct jobs, with the goal of increasing the mining sector's contribution to GDP to around 2 billion dinars by 2033 through investments in minerals such as gold and lithium. These figures and indicators reflect the ongoing economic transformation led by this sector, with results accumulating in cost reduction, investment stimulation, and job creation, all while linking natural resources to local development and turning them into tangible benefits for citizens.
