(Jordan Times) Mohammad Ghazal - Jordan will import 8.5 million cubic meters of natural gas from Israel every day, Amani Azzam, secretary general of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, said Tuesday. ordan's daily needs of natural gas stand at 9.9 million cubic meters. The gas will be distributed to the country's power plants for electricity generation.
