Jordan Discovers Remarkable Way to Provide Energy for One Million People Using Rocks That Contain Oil Inside.
Welcome to the Attarat mine, located south of Amman, the capital of Jordan. It is here that the magic happens. Using a special rock called oil shale, Attarat Mining Company can extract oil and convert it into energy. The 470-megawatt power plant nearby is the heart of this process, generating enough energy to power 15% of the entire country.
The operation is worthy of a science fiction movie. Huge machines, such as the Komatsu WA900 loaders, dig the rocks from the ground and take them to a primary crusher. The crushed material is then transported to the power plant, where it is burned to generate energy. Efficiency is key: the rocks need to be mixed and crushed evenly to ensure consistent burning and maximize energy production.
Reduces Jordan’s Dependence on Imported Fossil Fuels
One of the biggest challenges of this operation is the variation in the amount of oil present in the rocks. To deal with this, workers extract oil shale from different parts of the mine and mix it all together before sending it to the power plant. Additionally, due to the extreme summer heat in Jordan, all machines are equipped with additional cooling systems to prevent overheating.

While hydroelectric plants lose capacity due to evaporation caused by heat in the reservoirs, the Philippines are installing floating solar panels on the plants’ own lakes, generating energy, reducing evaporation by up to 70%, and cooling the panels to increase electrical efficiency at the same time.

Dongfang breaks world record and manufactures 26 MW wind turbine in China with 137-meter blades that spin so slowly they appear stationary on the horizon.
This initiative not only ensures energy for one million people but also reduces Jordan’s dependence on imported fossil fuels. Oil shale mining is a brilliant example of how innovation and technology can transform local resources into sustainable solutions for global energy problems.
Jordan, with Attarat Mining Company at the forefront, shows the world that even rocks can become a valuable source of energy. This approach is not only ingenious but also crucial for a more sustainable and energy-independent future.
Attarat Mining Company
The Attarat Mining Company is the driving force behind this energy transformation in Jordan. With a clear focus on innovation and sustainability, the company has distinguished itself as a leader in the oil shale mining sector. They have not only implemented advanced technologies for extraction and processing but also committed to environmentally responsible practices, ensuring that the operation has the least possible environmental impact.
Desde de quando isso na linguagem Globaliiiistas da agenda maluca do tudo verde, isso aí é sustentável?
Parece notícia de jornaleco. Sejam mais pés no chão pois seu público não é ****.
