Jordan's water security plan criticised for fossil gas reliance
Original: Jordan’s mega-plan for water security risks locking in fossil gas demand
Jordan is pursuing a large-scale plan to secure its water supply, but analysts warn the project could lock the country into long-term fossil gas demand. The country is one of the most water-scarce in the world, making desalination and infrastructure investments a priority. Critics argue that powering such projects with gas rather than renewables risks undermining both climate goals and Jordan's energy transition.
Why now: Climate observers are debating whether Jordan's urgent water needs can be met without increasing fossil fuel dependence.
