Abstract: In 1995, Jordan's annual emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) were approximately 13.8x106 tonnes, of which fossil-fuel combustion contributed more than 85%. It is likely that CO2 emissions, from energy operations, will rise to about 20x106 tonnes in the year 2010, when the energy consumption will be twice that in 1995. There are many viable CO2-mitigation measures identified for the energy sector, some of these can be considered as attractive opportunities. However, their implementation requires the removal of certain obstacles, such as the lack of awareness, lenient energy pricing policies and lack of access to appropriate technology.
