✦ Synopsis

This paper reviews the potential of renewable energy resources in meeting part of the fuel demand in Jordan. In particular, the paper identifies solar energy for water heating applications, wind for electricity generation and conservation energy as most promising energy resources. These combined can meet more than 12% of the total fuel demand in Jordan.

The potential of the development of water desalination using wind energy in Jordan was studied. Eleven wind solar sites were considered. The results show that these sites can be divided, in terms of the yearly total amount of desalinated water, into three categories. One is considered favourable, wh
