space heating and 200 cylinders daily during the whole year for cooking. According to the IPCC<br />
2006 guidelines, the calorific value of Liquefied Petroleum Gas is 13.1 MWh/tn, and it is thus<br />
calculated that the residential sector consumes:<br />
(200cylinders ∗ 30days ∗ 3months + 200cylinders ∗ 30days ∗ 12months) ∗ 16kg<br />
= 1,440,000kgr LPG<br />
Kerosene<br />
1,440tn ∗ 13.1MWh<br />
tn<br />
= 18,864MWh<br />
Many households in <strong>Karak</strong> Municipality use kerosene for heating purposes. The gas stations<br />
provided data at the Municipal level, which was 350.000 lt annualy. Kerosene’s density, 790<br />
kg/m 3 , and net calorific value, 12.2 MWh/tn, were used in order to calculate the consumption<br />
as follows:<br />
Diesel (heating oil)<br />
350m 3 ∗ 790 kgr<br />
m 3 = 276,500kg<br />
276.5tn ∗ 12.2 MWh<br />
tn<br />
= 3,373.30MWh kerosene<br />
There is also an amount of diesel which is consumed by the residents for space and water<br />
heating. This consumption was calculated based on a report with Energy Facts & Figures<br />
(2015) from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. [8] Therefore, since the diesel<br />
consumption in households for 2014 is given 81.8 ktoe at a national level, this number will be<br />
adjusted to the municipal level. In addition the rate used to convert tons of oil equivalent (toe)<br />
to MWh is: “1 ktoe=11,630 MWh”, according to the <strong>SECAP</strong> guidelines. [6]Consequently the<br />
diesel consumption in <strong>Karak</strong>’s municipality residential sector is:<br />
81.8 ktoe ∗ 11,630 ( MWh<br />
) = 951,334 MWh Diesel at national level<br />
ktoe<br />
951,334 ∗ 114,000 inhabitants<br />
= 16,308.58 MWh Diesel in <strong>Karak</strong> Municipality<br />
6,650,000 inhabitants(Jordan)<br />
Since the Heating Degree Days in <strong>Karak</strong> are very close to that of Jordan in average, no<br />
correction of the above figure considering the HDD takes place.<br />
Solar thermal<br />
In addition, a great number of households own solar water heaters thus they consume solar<br />
power in order to heat water. In order to determine this energy production, data from the<br />
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (2014) at a national level are used, namely<br />
1,400,000 MWh production from SWH in households for the entire country.<br />
Subsequently, the solar thermal energy produced per capita was calculated, based on the<br />
population owning solar heaters. According to Department of Statistics the 10.88% of Jordan<br />
population has solar heaters (723,746 inhabitants), thus the specific production per capita is<br />
1.934 MWh per SWH owner. From national statistics it is known that 10.79% of <strong>Karak</strong><br />
Governorate population own solar heaters as well. It was assumed that the percentage is the<br />
same between the Governorate and <strong>Karak</strong> Municipality, thus the population with SWH is<br />
12,296 at the municipal level.<br />
