Energy giant, ExxonMobil and the Area 4 concessionaires have initiated the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase for Mozambique’s Rovuma LNG project.
This move follows the approval from the Mozambique Government to proceed with the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) plans for Rovuma LNG.
This milestone represents a crucial step towards developing what will become the largest LNG project in Africa and one of the continent’s most substantial investments, developer ExxonMobil’s Mozambqiue head, Frank Kretschmer said on social media without giving further details.
The 18 mill tonnes per annum Rovuma LNG project, sourced from Mozambique’s abundant offshore natural gas fields, is designed for both efficiency and flexibility.
An electric LNG concept, the project will incorporate 12 modular units, each capable of producing 1.5 mill tonnes of LNG annually.
This approach ensures increased capacity, enhanced value for all stakeholders, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, Kretschmer said.
