The Coral North project, situated in the deep waters off northern Mozambique, is a joint venture involving companies from Italy, China and Mozambique.
With an estimated annual capacity of approximately 3.55 million tonnes, it is expected to contribute to Mozambique’s expanding LNG industry.
Once operational, the Coral North project, together with the already operational Coral South project, is expected to boost the country’s total LNG production to around 7 million tonnes per year, significantly enhancing Mozambique’s position in the global energy landscape.
