摘要
The current situation of energy consumption in the Jordanian industry is presented. The industrial sector energy consumption represents 22% of the country's total energy consumption. A survey covering about 10% of the total existing industrial firms was conducted for the study. About 90% of the industrial firms are considered small. It was shown that the main sources of energy in the industrial sector are electricity, heavy fuel oil and Diesel fuel Their combined cost is about 95% of the total energy cost in this sector. Detailed data on fuel and electricity consumption are presented in this paper. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd: All rights reserved.
