On 13th November 2022 the first shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced from the Coral gas field, in the ultra-deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, has departed from Coral Sul Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility. The Coral South project, comes on stream after just 5 years, in line with the initial budget and schedule. Coral Sul FLNG has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year and will produce LNG from the 450 billion cubic meters of gas of the Coral reservoir. On 23th November the President of Mozambique, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, visited and inaugurated the Coral-Sul FLNG installation, built to develop the Coral South, a landmark project for the gas industry, is projecting Mozambique onto the global LNG stage. At the same time, it makes an important contribution to energy security and to the diversification of gas supplies in Europe.

Actions for gas supply diversification
We are working to diversify natural gas supplies, in synergy with producing countries and maintaining the Net Zero target at 2050.
DISCOVER MOREWe create energy
We are contributing to implementing the Coral South and Rovuma LNG projects for the production and liquefaction of gas in Mozambique and we are committed to improving health services in the Palma district. Furthermore, in 2019, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Lurio (Unilurio) aimed at protecting the biodiversity of the Vamizi island marine sanctuary and contributed to the reconstruction of the Cabo Delgado roads hit by two cyclones. To promote sustainable development in the country, in March 2021 we signed a memorandum of understanding to identify possible collaboration opportunities in the areas of technical education and training, food safety and nutrition, health, access to energy and economic diversification with particular reference to agriculture. The initiatives also continue with some projects of forests protection and conservation (REDD+ program) with the Government of Mozambique. In 2021, Eni’s programs to support the local communities of the Country progressed with programs to support primary and infant scholarship. In particular, in city of Pemba, the infrastructural planned activities are completed and launched training initiatives also with study grants, launched the second phase of access to energy program also by means of clean cooking projects, support to disadvantaged populations in particular in the Cabo Delgado area and in the Maputo area, also with food assistance.
Coral South
The Coral South project was launched in 2017, just three years following the drilling of the final exploratory well. We have built a floating facility for the treatment, liquefaction, storage and export of gas (FLNG) with a capacity of around 3.4 million tonnes of LNG per year, powered by 6 underwater wells with start-up happened in 2022.

The Rovuma LNG project was put in place for the production, liquefaction and marketing of natural gas from three fields of the Mamba complex located in Area 4, offshore of the Rovuma Basin. The development plan was approved by the Mozambique Government in 2019. The development project for the first phase of the Rovuma LNG project includes the design and construction of two LNG liquefaction trains which will each produce 7.6 million tonnes of LNG per year.

Initiatives for spreading education
The educational project at the school in Paquitequete aime to get more children into school, using innovative methods and unconventional teaching. The initiative resulted in far fewer children dropping out of school. It improved the level of basic literacy in the first year of primary school, as well as the quality of methodology and education.
