Hynfra secures critical land rights for 120,000-tpy green ammonia plant in Jordan
Jordan Green Ammonia secures land for flagship project in Aqaba 📍🌿đźŹđź¤ť
According to a recent LinkedIn post, Jordan Green Ammonia announced: We have secured critical land rights for our green ammonia production and export facility in the Middle East. Our joint venture, Jordan Green Ammonia (JGA), established by Hynfra, and our partner, the Jordan-based Fidelity Group, has signed a binding agreement with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA).
The contract covers over 1,000 hectares of land within a strategic industrial zone adjacent to the Port of Aqaba, following an investment agreement finalized with the Jordanian government last month.
The planned industrial complex is engineered to reach a nameplate capacity of 120,000 tons of green ammonia per year, integrates a dedicated 550 MWp photovoltaic infrastructure and battery energy storage systems. The asset is currently in the FEED phase, moving toward financial close by the end of 2027.
"Selecting Aqaba secures the fundamental pillars of our business strategy. The proximity of the port provides direct access to international trade routes. Strong year-round solar irradiation enables us to generate enough clean energy to power the entire facility through our own dedicated photovoltaic farm, ensuring full energy independence from the national grid. Combined with the stable regulatory framework of the ASEZA zone, this gives us a predictable cost structure and operational certainty, both of which are essential for the success of an investment of this scale” said Dr. Wael Suleiman, Founder of Fidelity Group and CEO of JGA.
"People often talk about the energy transition as a question of technology. In reality, it is a question of geography. The countries that can combine abundant renewable energy with access to global trade routes will become the industrial hubs of the next era. That is why Aqaba matters. We are currently in the FEED phase, supported by strong government backing, secured land rights, and a clearly defined route to market through offtake arrangements. Together, these factors provide a level of predictability that is rarely available at this stage of project development.” - said Tomoho Umeda, President of Hynfra.
The facility is a key component of Hynfra's broader global development plan to build green ammonia production facilities and clean energy hubs in countries such as Mauritania, Oman, Egypt, the Philippines, and the United States. In Jordan, the facility will leverage Aqaba’s deepwater port infrastructure to establish direct export routes to premium, regulated European and Asian markets.
