Jojoba is a Possible Alternative Green Fuel for Jordan

Jordan is a developing non-oil production country and its basic energy requirements are obtained from abroad as imported oil and petroleum products. For long-term security, a requirement for Jordan is to reduce the dependence on imported oil by developing clean, safe, renewable energy systems and energy conservation programs. Biomass cultivation can be an effective renewable energy source to be utilized. However, the use of biomass as an energy source should not prejudice the supply of food. Also, the water shortage in Jordan has become permanent, meeting water demand is a challenge, and managing water resources is imperative. Therefore, much interest should be concentrated on plants that yield hydrocarbons and that, at the same time, do not represent food for humans or animals and is capable of growing on land unsuited for food crops with limited water sources. Jojoba is a plant that can grow in many semi-arid regions of the world, requires little water and maintenance, is free from disease and yields a crop of seeds that have 40–50% oil. Jojoba represents a valuable renewable energy source which can replace fossil fuels in industries and in household appliances. This article aims to show the importance of cultivating jojoba in Jordan in order to reduce the dependency on imported oil and fossil fuels. The advantage of jojoba is shortly described to point out the cultivation requirement for the jojoba tree. A short review that describes the Jordan climate, the average annual rainfall, and soil specifications in Jordan is presented in this article to discuss the possibility of cultivating jojoba in Jordan in order to be utilized as a green renewable energy source.
