The world shut down in 2020, but the largest project finance in Africa could not stop.
The discovery of vast quantities of natural gas off the coast of northern Mozambique in 2010 was the starting point for the Mozambique LNG Project, which led to a $20bn final investment decision in June 2019. In September of that same year, Total (the second-largest LNG player in the world) announced that it had closed the acquisition of Anadarko’s 26.5% operating interest in the Mozambique LNG Project and that the project was finally ready to move on to the next stage.
