General Overview

Mauritania is positioning itself as a key player in the energy sector, thanks to its potential in natural gas and renewable energies (solar, wind).
The country is also investing in green hydrogen projects to take part in the global energy transition. Mauritania has two major gas basins: Taoudéni (onshore) and the Offshore Coastal Basin, where the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA), shared with Senegal, is ready for production.

The country has undertaken significant sector reforms to liberalize electricity and has adopted the world’s first Green Hydrogen Code, providing an attractive framework for investors.
