Jordanian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Halabsheh said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters a few days ago that China has advanced technology and strong industrial capabilities in the fields of renewable energy, energy storage, and smart grids, and Jordan regards China as an important partner in the modernization process of the energy industry. Halabshah accompanied King Abdullah II of Jordan on a visit to China in August. He said that this visit made him experience firsthand the remarkable achievements China has made in the fields of technology, innovation and energy, particularly in the fields of renewable energy, energy storage, and smart grids. He said that signing a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation with China's National Energy Administration is an important step in moving energy cooperation between the two countries from an overall cooperation framework to a more practical stage. The two sides will explore cooperation in the fields of modernizing the national power grid, energy storage systems, renewable energy, green hydrogen, green ammonia, and promoting the establishment of an integrated system of clean energy-related industries and services. He said that this complements cooperation between the two countries in the field of environment and climate change, and is in line with the goals of transforming to a more sustainable and efficient economy and reducing emissions. Halabsher said that Jordan's new national energy strategy focuses on promoting the development and modernization of the energy industry, increasing the share of renewable energy use, and upgrading the power grid using battery energy storage and artificial intelligence technology. Cooperation with China can help attract high-quality investment into Jordan, develop new projects, create jobs, and strengthen energy and mining-related industries and services, thereby increasing local added value and enhancing the competitiveness of the Jordanian economy. He appreciated the contributions made by Chinese companies to enhance Jordan's energy autonomy. He said that cooperation with Chinese companies enables Jordan to draw on China's experience in developing power grids, introduce advanced energy storage solutions, improve the stability and reliability of the Jordanian power grid, and effectively respond to the growing demand for renewable energy. Referring to Chinese technology, Halabsay said it helps improve energy efficiency and reduce losses, thereby having a positive impact on water, industry, and transportation. From this perspective, energy cooperation between the two sides not only helps guarantee Jordan's energy needs, but can also become a catalyst for economic development, build a platform for the development of emerging industries, and help Jordan become a regional green energy and related service and technology center. Halabsher said that Jordan has many opportunities and looks forward to establishing successful partnerships with more Chinese partners, expanding cooperation to a wider range of technology, innovation and knowledge transfer, and helping to build a local value chain. He believes that the energy partnership between Japan and China can become a model for cooperation based on investment, capacity building and shared added value, which will help achieve the common vision of the two countries and promote the further development of bilateral relations.
