Jordan has inaugurated its first independent compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling station for buses, trucks, and other vehicles, in what officials described as a major step towards expanding natural gas use and lowering energy costs, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
According to WAM, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Saleh Kharabsheh said the project supports the kingdom’s economic modernisation vision and its plans to diversify energy sources. He stressed that the ministry is committed to broadening the role of natural gas in Jordan and creating an attractive investment environment for the sector.
It was also noted that the new station, which has a capacity of 1,500 litres and two pumps, can fill vehicles at 250 bar pressure in 7–11 minutes. Officials cited by the agency added that CNG can offer savings of around 50% compared to petrol and diesel.
