Ammon News - AMMAN (Petra) - Prime Minster Abdullah Ensour on Tuesday said Jordan, which is facing genuine challenges in the energy field, traditional energy resources and high prices of energy, is working hard to diversify energy resources and depend on alternative energy resources to achieve energy security with reasonable prices. Ensour's statements came during a meeting with Chairman of the Board of the Emirati Al Hamed Future Company Sheikh Shaya Al Hamed. Al Hamed briefed Ensour on the company's investments and its specialized projects in the energy field, including a project to build an electrical energy generating project through direct incineration of the oil shale with a joint Emirati-Jordanian-Chinese investment.

Earlier, a basic principles agreement has been signed between the National Electric Power Company and Al-Lajjun Oil Shale Company for investment in oil shale, natural resources and its products.
