The French energy company Total withdrew its workers from a multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in 2021 because of a worsening security situation in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province.
In 2023, two years later, TotalEnergies' CEO Patrick Pouyanne paid a visit to the southern African nation to discuss conditions for a possible restart.
The "environment" in the gas-rich province has improved for "the company to resume activity at any time," Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi said at a recent mining and energy conference in Mozambique's capital, Maputo.
