The Mozambican market will be able to count on cooking gas produced by the multinational Sasol as of 2024, according to a statement from the institution.

The company expects that its production will meet about 75% of the national demand, which could make it the main supplier of the fuel in Mozambique.

In addition, the company, which explores the Temane (Inhassoro) and Pande (Govuro) gas fields, in Inhambane province, southern Mozambique, will produce the gas to feed the Temane Thermal Power Plant and light oil for export.

These three projects are part of the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) signed in 2020 between the Mozambican government and the petrochemical company for the production of 23 PJ/a of natural gas for power generation (at the Temane Thermal Power Plant), 30,000 tons of cooking gas, and the daily production of 4,000 barrels of light oil for export.

The projects are valued at $760 million. The first stone for the construction of the plant will be laid next March 28, by the President of the Republic.
