Gas from Africa: Europe's Search for New Suppliers

Russia's war against Ukraine broke Germany's gas supply and sent European buyers looking south, to a continent whose total reserves rival those of the United States. The film travels to Mozambique, poised to become Africa's third largest liquefied natural gas exporter, and to Senegal, a newer prospect in West Africa, to ask who actually profits when a foreign consortium taps a coastal gas field. In Mozambique the answer so far has been conflict rather than prosperity, with local communities displaced and an insurgency feeding off the resentment. In Senegal, officials and residents weigh whether gas jobs might finally slow migration toward Europe. Interviews with locals, workers, and industry and government figures lay out the competing bets: that gas revenue builds roads, schools, and jobs, against the risk that Europe's climate targets make African gas a stranded asset before it pays off. The film does not resolve the argument, but it grounds it in the specific stakes of two countries betting their futures on a fuel the world is trying to phase out.
