Abstract: This study attempts to predict the potential CO₂ reduction due to pre-proposed future restructuring scenarios toward clean generation technologies for the Jordanian utility sector. The calculation is based on CO₂ emission for unit electricity generated and the changing type of fuel percentages for electricity generation in Jordan. It was found that such restructuring will significantly contribute to undermine the global greenhouse gases emissions. The potential CO₂ reductions by gradually introducing energy sources substitutions for electricity generation in Jordan are in a range of 1413-12,170 million kg for different suggested scenarios by year 2028.
