US Ex-Im Bank Eyes Investment in Another Mozambique LNG Project

(Bloomberg, New York, 12 September 2024) The US Export-Import Bank is considering funding a liquefied natural gas project led by Eni SpA off the coast of Mozambique, years after investing in an onshore facility to produce the fuel that’s been delayed by security issues and opposed by environmental groups. Eni’s planned Coral North floating LNG plant is listed by the official export-credit agency of the US, known as Ex-Im, as a pending project. “The financing amount would be disclosed upon final board approval,” the bank said in an emailed response to questions, declining to give a timeline for the decision.
