Summary

USTDA’s Business Briefing highlights midstream gas infrastructure opportunities in Angola and Mozambique. High-level decision makers will provide U.S. companies with valuable market intelligence about strategic priorities and upcoming procurement opportunities.

Background

Angola and Mozambique have experienced tremendous growth in the natural gas sector. Both countries currently have billions of dollars in commitments for midstream gas infrastructure projects like floating and onshore LNG facilities, gas capture and flaring reduction, offshore-to-onshore pipelines, treatment and processing plants, and storage facilities. 

Angola: Angola’s National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANPG) announced $60 billion in commitments for oil and gas projects in March 2025. To lower investment barriers, the ANPG has streamlined its licensing process and updated regulations to promote high returns for private investors. 

Mozambique: The Export- Import Bank of the United States has committed to loaning $4.7 billion of the approximately $20 billion investment into the Area 1 Mozambique LNG project, while the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation has extended $1.5 billion in sovereign risk insurance to the Area 4 Rovuma LNG project, together representing the U.S. Government’s largest investment commitment on the continent.
