摘要
The global fossil fuel crisis has generated the need to find alternative solutions through renewable energy sources. Since Jordan has a distinctive location, the potential for using renewable energy such as solar, wind, or other available sources has been studied extensively by researchers. The main objective of this study is to investigate the awareness level about the renewable energy in the Jordanian society. The research study group of people consisted of six hundred and sixty six surveys. The data showed that Jordanians have a high awareness and knowledge about renewable energy and its sources. More than 90% of the surveyed know about renewable energy's merits, and the environmental effect of fossil fuels. This paper also provides a comprehensive overview of the renewable energy technologies and projects established in Jordan, including their distribution, advantages and disadvantages and the challenges encountered by each project.
