Morocco Looks for Funding for $26B African Gas Pipeline
Morocco is seeking to finance the Atlantic African Gas Pipeline project, a venture valued at approximately $26 billion, aimed at transporting gas from West Africa to Europe through Morocco. The pipeline connects gas fields in Nigeria, Senegal, and Mauritania to the existing network that supplies gas to Spain. The project has support from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Despite political backing, it faces implementation challenges and is scheduled to begin construction in 2028, with gas supplies starting in 2031. The project's estimated capacity reaches up to 30 billion cubic meters annually. This initiative supports Europe's goal of diversifying its gas sources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
