​​​The University of Petra (UOP) has taken a number of measures to reduce fossil energy consumption. UoP invested in over USD 2.2 million in a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar system that has been installed on top of all campus building and parking lots. The total production capacity of the PV system is 3 MW DC capacity. Since 2019, upon the completion of the PV system installation, the PV system produces about 5 GW-h of electricity annually. The electricity produced by the system covered over 193% (almost the double) of the university needs for the years 2020 and 2021, and reduced the Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions by about 1500 tonnes of CO2,eq​ annually.

The university replaced security cars with electric cars to reduce carbon dioxide emission. It has a plan to procure an electric train to move students on the ring- road between buildings, as friendly use of the campus.

The university provides free parking for students and employees of 1,000 cars in five-story building where many free charging ports dedicated for electrical cars are available.

The below table summarizes the University of Petra (UOP) CO_2,eq Emissions in kg CO_2eq/year for the period (2017- 2023).  The table and following figures show the progress of University of Petra toward its targets originally has set 2060 as a target year to become carbon neutral which was modified later to 2045​.
