CO_2 mitigation options and barriers to implementation in the Jordanian energy-sector

摘要

In 1995, Jordan's annual emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) were approximately 13.8 × 10~6 tonnes, of which fossil-fuel combustion contributed more than 85/100. It is likely that CO_2 emis- sions, from energy operations, will rise to about 20 × 10~6 tonnes in the year 2010, when the energy consumption will be twice that in 1995. There are many viable CO_2-mitigation measures identi- fied for the energy sector. Some of these can be considered as attractive opportunities.
