The Jordan Cement Factories Company (JCFC) signed on Wednesday a 12-year gas conveyance contract with the Jordanian-Egyptian Fajr Company. Under the contract, the Jordanian-Egyptian Fajr company will transport natural gas to the Rashadiya Cement Factory through a 24km pipeline, as of the beginning of this year. By 2007, the pipeline will provide around 85 per cent of the factory’s energy needs.
