After two decades of delays, the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project has resumed with construction restarting on the Algerian section. The megaproject aims to export Nigerian natural gas to Europe via Niger and Algeria. Once completed, it could fundamentally reshape Europe's energy supply map by providing an alternative to Russian gas. The pipeline remains a major infrastructure undertaking crossing the Sahara Desert, with significant geopolitical and economic implications.
