Summary

  • The $25bn, 6,900km project would link gas in Nigeria, Senegal and Mauritania with 10 African countries and connect via Morocco to Spain.
  • ONHYM says first gas from the Senegal-onward section could arrive in 2031, while more countries are expected to join a company later this year to structure financing and development.
  • The project has gained momentum as the Iran war enters a third month and Europe seeks non-Middle East supplies, despite regional tensions involving Algeria, Mauritania and Senegal.
