At a time when the energy sector is more than ever on the forefront, there is a commercial dispute between Algeria and Morocco in Africa. Both have promised to create gas pipelines, but not the two are advancing at the same pace. As they count on While Algeria is making significant advances in her project of a Transaharan gas pipeline, the Moroccan project for a gas pipeline that connects Nigeria with Europe is escaped.
In Algeria, where the project began to take shape in the 80s, there are already several advances. The three countries that support the structure, Algeria, Niger and Nigeria, have signed several agreements both at the institutional and technical level. In addition, they already have a solid base, since Algeria already has an extensive network of gas pipelines, understanding units, traffic stations, as well as direct access to European markets through the Mediterranean.
On the contrary, in Morocco the thing does not advance. The last obstacle, according to the aforementioned medium, has been the official postponement of the decision to invest in the gas pipeline. Although it was planning to announce it for the second quarter of 2025, it has now postponed until the beginning of 2026.
All this is also causing international investors to postulate more by the Algerian option.
