Jordan will import liquefied natural gas and direct it to Lebanon via Syria

Under the arrangements, Jordan will import liquefied natural gas and then return it to its gaseous state using the floating gasification unit and the infrastructure available in the Kingdom, before transporting it through gas lines extending from southern to northern Jordan, and then passing it to Lebanon through Syrian territory.

The government, headed by Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan, said that the decision is consistent with the national strategy for the energy sector, which aims to strengthen Jordan's position as a regional center for energy exchange and green energy production, based on the gas and electricity networks developed by the Kingdom.

She added that Jordan has been supplying Syria with gas since the beginning of this year through the same mechanism, noting that the new step comes within the framework of supporting Lebanon and employing the available infrastructure in the energy sector.
