Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Oil company ENI is discussing the possibility of farming to produce biofuels in Mozambique, Claudio Descalzi, the company\u2019s CEO, announced Friday during a visit to Maputo.<\/p>\n

Descalzi pointed to castor beans as one of the fruits that could be used to produce biofuel.<\/p>\n

Descalzi was speaking after a meeting with Mozambican President, Filipe Nyusi, which marked the resumption of face-to-face meetings between the parties after restrictions imposed by Covid-19.<\/p>\n

During the meeting other strategies for carbon capture were also discussed to offset Eni\u2019s gas exploration projects in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The Italian oil company is part of the Area 4 consortium in the Rovuma basin, off Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Descalzi confirmed that the reserves in that area will start to be explored as of the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n

The wells that will feed the project have been drilled and the Coral Sul floating platform is due to leave shipyards in South Korea soon, heading to Mozambique.<\/p>\n

This will be the first unit to explore the Rovuma reserves, ranked among the largest in the world.<\/p>\n

ENI is also expected to start prospecting activities off Angoche, central Mozambique, in mid 2022.<\/p>\n
