Under the Patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II
Establishing Jordan’s Leadership In
Energy, Water, & Environment (EWE)
Productivity
March 2009
Acute Challenges Need Jordanian
Solutions
• Jordan imports 96% of energy in 4.9 million
tons of oil equivalent (TOE) [2007]
• Valued at 24% of total imports
• Equivalent to 20% of gross domestic
product (GDP) and 56% of total exports
• Water currently consumed at over 2X the
long-term renewable supply from aquifers and
Disi
• The energy sector alone generates 13.4
million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually

Attaining
leadership in
EWE Productivity
means increasing
GDP per energy
use, water use,
and emissions
Solutions Developed In Jordan Address
A Global Demand
• Emissions productivity requirements call
for a 10X increase in global GDP
produced per emissions created*
• Global investments in renewable energies
exceeded $100 billion in 2007 with
renewable energy sector jobs exceeding
2.4 million in 2006**
• Efficiencies are achieved through diffusing
existing applications and commercializing
new energy technologies

• Jordan has 27
universities
and 77,000
registered
engineers
• Applications
tailored to
developing
countries carry
significant
export potential

EDAMA Engages Jordan Innovation
Building on existing initiatives and the
Royal Energy Committee, EDAMA’s
private sector champions are developing
approaches to drive research
collaboration, business creation, and
investment establishing Jordan as a
leader in solutions for energy, water,
and environmental productivity.

EDAMA’s Objectives Are Bold
• Maximize the Jordan’s renewable energy generation
• Create a vibrant new economic sector of renewable energy
and water conservation producers and system manufacturers
• Drive commercialization of new Jordanian technologies
• Engage the private sector in achieving Jordan’s energy
independence
• Position Jordan as a regional center for smart energy & water
• Build awareness in the public and private sector to create
Jordan as a model for energy efficiency, water conservation, and
environmental stewardship

Private Sector Leaders Driving Task Forces
• SME Innovation: Unleash innovation through start-ups
• Greenhouse Gas Trading: Increase participation in global
GHG markets
• International Partners: Attract manufacturing and
engineering centers from international companies.
• Jordan Capital Network: Form a coalition of Jordanian
investors targeting SMEs with innovations.
• Jordan EWE System: Develop Jordan energy, water, and
environment system model with development of green
collar skilled professionals
• EWE Infrastructure: Focus on infrastructure upgrades
• EWE Productivity Awareness: Build public awareness on
EWE productivity solutions
• EWE Productivity Advocacy: Advocate for legislative
updates targeted at enhancing Jordan’s EWE productivity

* GDP per energy use, water use, and emissions
• Improved Jordan
EWE productivity*
• Increase in
renewable energy
and water
conservation SMEs
• FDI attracted to
Jordan
"The Middle East has long experience with issues
that other regions are only beginning to worry
about, from water scarcity to sustainable energy.
Our companies should be at the top of these
emerging industries, as the leading source of
creative solutions."
