LNG
TotalEnergies CEO has discussed the resumption of the troubled Mozambique LNG project with Mozambique President Daniel Chapo, Bloomberg reports.
- “[TotalEnergies CEO Patrick] Pouyanne reaffirmed TotalEnergies’ commitment to resuming the project,” Mozambique President Daniel Chapo said in a translated post on X.
- “We reaffirm the importance of the project for the economic growth of Mozambique, and efforts are therefore being made to ensure the necessary stability for its implementation”.
- The project was paused in 2021 due to violence and safety concerns for workers in the local area.
- Plans to restart the project by the end of 2024 slipped after further violence flared following October’s disputed presidential election.
- TotalEnergies had previously said that it needed “public services” and “normal life” to resume for the project to restart.
