Mozambique is entering a decisive ozambique’s Energy Future: Turning Projects into Local Prosperity

Mozambique is at a decisive moment.
With landmark projects like Coral South FLNG already exporting LNG, Rovuma LNG preparing for FID, and Mozambique LNG awaiting restart, the opportunities are immense. The real question: how much value will remain in-country?

CLC Solution had the honour of contributing to the dialogue on Africa’s energy future at the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference 2025 with a keynote entitled:
“From Compliance to Capability – Upskilling Local Talent for a Just Energy Transition.”

On this important stage, Lucas COSSA powerfully conveyed our message, underlining that Africa’s true energy legacy should not be measured only in barrels or watts, but in the people empowered through skills, innovation, and opportunity.
