Friends of the Earth accused France on Monday of planting a “ticking climate bomb” in Mozambique, where French oil giant Total is developing a mega-project to exploit natural gas.

“For several years now, the entire arsenal of French economic diplomacy has been working to defend French interests in Mozambique,” the NGO said, notably “a myriad of French companies in the fossil fuel industry and adjacent sectors”.

The report, titled “A windfall for the industry, a curse for the country: France thrusts Mozambique into the gas trap”, said $60 billion will be invested in vast underwater reserves that were discovered off the country’s northern coast in the early 2010s.

Total, ExxonMobil of the United States and Italy’s ENI hope to start exploiting the reserves by 2022-23, with Total planning to invest $25 billion in the venture.

The gas reserves are located in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, the centre for the last two and a half years of an Islamist insurgency which has left at least 1,100 dead, according to a count by the NGO Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.

The London-based organisation accuses France of “helping ignite tensions in Cabo Delgado province by supporting multinational gas companies and the militarisation of the zone.”

Friends of the Earth said “French companies including private banks and energy companies like Total must immediately put an end to their involvement in gas projects in Mozambique.”
