	Stage	Sector name	Sub-sector	Objective
Samra Thermal Power Station ‐ Phase‐III Add‐On Combined Cycle	Under development	Energy	Energy efficiency	Reduce emissions from power sector by increasing efficiency of power plant
NAMA for the industrial sector	Under development	Industry	Energy efficiency	To help industrial sector identify energy and water inefficiencies, renewable energy/low carbon fuel potentials and inefficient waste management. Reduce GHG emissions of the sector by at least 1 Gg CO2 eq annually.
Electricity Generation from Wind Energy Sources	Under development	Energy	Renewable energy (wind)	To help the government achieve a target of 10% renewable energy in the primary energy needs of the country by 2020, save fuel and reduce emissions
Strategy for domestic waste management	Under development	Waste		Reduce CH4 emissions from waste sector by at least 1 Gg CO2 eq annually
Improvement of Energy Efficiency in the Jordanian Water Sector (IEE)	Under development	Energy	Energy efficiency	The IEE programme is a sector wide programme to increase energy efficiency for water infrastructre with the objective to reduce the specific energy consumption per m3 of produced water targeting pumping facilities, wellfields, booster stations, the water supply network and other water infrastructure in the country.
Electricity Generation from Solar Energy Sources	Under development	Energy	Renewable energy (solar)	To help the government achieve a target of 10% renewable energy in the primary energy needs of the country by 2020, save fuel and reduce emissions
Solar Water Pumping in Jordan Valley	Under development	Energy	Renewable energy (solar)	The objective is to switch from individual diesel and electrical pumps for irrigation to solar pumping in Jordan Valley. Also, this NAMA aims to promote efficient water use.
Rehabitation of Al‐Akaider Landfill	Under development	Waste		Decrease CO2 and CH4 emissions from landfill
Zarqa Industrial Waste Water Treatment and Energy Project (ZIWWTE)– provision of industrial treated waste water and energy in Zarqa.	Under development	Waste		Reduce emissions from waste water treatment plant and generate heat and electricity

Feasibility studies for NAMAs

	Stage	Sector name	Sub-sector	Objective
