Aqaba, June 30 (Petra) - The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) on Tuesday held its second consultative session on a project by Al-Etihad Fuel Storage and Management Company to build liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks in the Southern Industrial Zone (SIE) as part of environmental approval requirements.

Eman Kouz, ASEZA's Head of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), said the project aims to expand the Kingdom’s LPG storage capacity, strengthening energy security and supporting the development of fuel infrastructure.

She discussed the importance of stakeholder and community participation in environmental assessment processes, noting that engagement helps define mitigation measures, ensure sustainable development, and reinforce environmental protection and occupational safety standards.
