约旦位于亚洲西部,因境内的死海比海平面低392米,故有“世界沉陆”之称。境内五分之四以上的面积是沙漠,太阳能资源极为丰富。政府为了解决本国的能源问题,正在想方设法利用太阳能。约旦太阳能利用的重点是海水淡化,家用热水器,太阳能电话,塑料棚温室及太阳能蒸发池。 Jordan is located in western Asia, because the Dead Sea is 392 meters below sea level, so it is called “the world’s landfall.” More than four fifths of the territory of the area is desert, solar energy resources are extremely rich. The government is trying to use solar energy in order to solve its own energy problem. The focus of Jordan’s solar energy utilization is desalination, domestic water heaters, solar phones, plastic shed greenhouses and solar evaporation ponds.
