Transcript:Eleventh Meeting of the Oslo Group on Energy:
Eleventh Meeting of the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics 8-11 May 2017,Stockholm Sustainable Development Goals Energy in Jordan Abdel-motaleb Al-nugrsh 1 Contents Introduction Energy Strategy Energy Projects 2 Challenges of Energy Sector High increasing in the population (9.9)million in 2016. High growth rate in Energy and Electricity Demand. High growth rate in Energy Brice. High growth rate in Energy Bill. 3 Energy Strategy ( 2015-2025) Main Goals: – Diversifying the energy resources – Increasing the share of local resources in the energy mix. – Reducing the dependency on imported oil – Enhancing environment protection This will be achieved through: – Maximizing the utilization of domestic resources (oil shale, natural gas, etc.) – Expanding the development of renewable energy projects – Generating electricity from nuclear energy 4 Energy Policy Ensuring security of Sustainable supply of all energy forms. Diversification of energy sources. Enhancing the efforts to utilize the local energy resources. Increasing the share of the renewable energy in the total mix of primary energy. Enhancing environmental protection. 5 The heavy burden of energy costs on the Jordanian economy. Imported energy consume 7.3 % of the GDP value in 2016. Increased the levels of public debt and increase the budget deficit . Decreased the rates of economic growth, and development programs. Causing negative impact on the competitiveness of industries and exports of the kingdom in regional and global markets. - Energy crisis has negative impact on social life . (poverty, unemployment, poor income distribution, lack of sense of social justice). The effects of the energy crisis in Jordan 6 Jordan is considered as a hub and transit country and can play a major role linking oil, gas and electricity networks among the region. Gas Pipelines Oil Pipelines Electricity Networks Jordan has a huge potential of Renewable Energy utilization (wind & solar/ solar radiation intensity 7 Kwh/m2 per day, wind speed 11 m/s). - Jordan has a huge potential of energy resources (Oil shale, Uranium). - Jordan has potential of oil and gas exploration. - Completion of the legal and regulatory frame work, legislative of the energy sector. Potential and Strong Points 7 Short-Term Solutions Construction of LNG Jetty at Aqaba port and connect with main Arab Gas Pipeline to diversify the natural gas resources. Increase the country’s strategic of oil and oil products storage capacity. Contraction of strategic storage capacities for light oil product with a capacity of 250-300 thousand ton,
