Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The head of Italy\u2019s government, Giorgia Meloni, said in Maputo on Friday that Europe should abandon \u201cpaternalistic\u201d cooperation with Africa and help countries to take advantage of resources locally, particularly the local processing of raw materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Italian government today considers energy to be an increasingly decisive sector, especially in strategic partnerships between Europe and Africa. In my opinion, we must move away from those forms of cooperation of the past, which advocated a very paternalistic approach. That\u2019s not what it takes to build solid and lasting relationships,\u201d said Meloni after meeting with the president of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is needed is to find long-term investments that can bring benefits to all the players, that bring together different nations, and energy is one of those factors,\u201d he pointed out, recalling that Africa is a \u201cmajor producer of any kind of energy\u201d and that Italy, like the rest of Europe, \u201cfrom one moment to the next\u201d found itself \u201cin a difficult energy supply situation\u201d, with the conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why he argued that it\u2019s \u201cpossible to build new relations between the two continents\u201d and that the bet should be to process their raw materials in the respective African countries: \u201cAnd thereby prosper thanks to the resources they have\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also pointed out that agricultural production in Africa should be a priority for European countries.<\/p>\n

After meeting with the Mozambican head of state, the president of Italy\u2019s Council of Ministers also recognised that \u201cmore needs to be done\u201d in relations between the two countries, focusing on other areas besides natural gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cMozambique is a country with great potential and prospects, which has a very important geostrategic role,\u201d said Giorgia Meloni, hoping that the natural gas resources \u2013 the Italian oil company Eni is exploring one of these areas in the north of the country \u2013 will be a \u201chuge opportunity for Mozambique\u201d and for \u201cstrengthening\u201d relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The head of Italy\u2019s government is accompanied on this visit to Maputo for a few hours by the head of the Italian oil company Eni, Claudio Descalzi,. Eni is celebrating its 70th anniversary and is looking to Africa for alternative sources of natural gas supply.<\/p>\n

Eni, the concessionaire for Rovuma Area 4, is already discussing with the Mozambican government the development of a second floating platform, a copy of the first and called Coral Norte, to increase gas extraction, a source from the Italian oil company told Lusa earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cEni has finalised the Development Plan, which is currently under discussion with the partners and the Government of Mozambique for final approval. At the same time, Eni is moving forward with acquisition processes, environmental impact studies, etc., including contracts associated with drilling,\u201d said an official source from the Italian oil company, questioned by Lusa.<\/p>\n

This plan involves the acquisition of a second FNLG floating platform for the North Coral area, identical to the one that has been operating to extract gas in the South Coral area since mid-2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cEni is working towards the development of Coral Norte through a second FLNG in Mozambique, taking advantage of the experience and lessons learnt in the Coral Sul FLNG, including those related to costs and execution time,\u201d added the same source from the oil company, the delegated operator of that consortium.<\/p>\n

Area 4 is operated by Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV), a joint venture co-owned by ExxonMobil, Eni and CNPC (China), which holds a 70% stake in the concession contract.<\/p>\n

Galp, Kogas (South Korea) and Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (Mozambique) each have a 10% stake.<\/p>\n

A document released earlier, drawn up by the Mozambican firm Consultec for the oil company Eni, points to an investment of $7 billion (\u20ac6.3 billion), subject to approval by the Mozambican government.<\/p>\n

If the schedule goes according to plan, the platform will begin production in the second half of 2027, meaning it could start up even before the onshore projects, which depend on security implications due to the armed insurgency in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Coral Norte will be stationed 10 kilometres north of Coral Sul, which started production in November last year, making it the first project to take advantage of the large reserves in the Rovuma basin.<\/p>\n
