TotalEnergies and the government of Mozambique have relaunched a $20 billion gas project.
The project was paused about five years ago after a deadly terrorist attack that killed an estimated 800 people.
On Thursday, January 29, 2026, the project was relaunched, ushering in a new era of gas production.
TotalEnergies CEO, Patrick Pouyanne, announced the relaunch of the Mozambique gas project.
Attending the relaunch ceremony was President of Mozambique, Daniel Chapo.
According to Pouyanne, “I am delighted to announce the full restart of the Mozambique LNG project…The force majeure is over.”
After a deadly terror attack in 2021, the $20 billion Mozambique LNG which is located in the northern Cabo Delgado province on the border with Tanzania was paused.
President Chapo’s office says in a statement that the relaunch of the project “presents a significant milestone for the national economy and reaffirms the confidence of international partners in Mozambique’s energy, institutional and human potential.”
