Implications of the Interrelations between the (Waste)Water Sector and Hydrogen Production for Arid Countries Using the Example of Jordan

In the energy sector, few topics, if any, are more hyped than hydrogen. Countries develop hydrogen strategies to provide a perspective for production and use in order meet climate-neutrality goals. However, this topical field role of water is less accentuated. Hence, study, we seek map interrelations between wastewater sector on one hand other hand, before reflecting upon our findings country case study. We chose Hashemite Kingdom Jordan because (i) politically discussed not least due its high potentials solar PV, (ii) stressed—definitely bad precondition water-splitting electrolyzers. This research based project called German-Jordanian Water-Hydrogen-Dialogue (GJWHD), which started with comprehensive desk mostly intersectoral relations scope situation Jordan. Then, carried out two expert workshops Wuppertal, Germany, Amman, Jordan, further discuss nexus by inviting diverse set stakeholders. The mapping exercise shows various options opportunities planning projects water-scarce contexts such as
