French energy giant TotalEnergies has signed a deal with QatarEnergy to ramp up gas supplies to European markets. TotalEnergies said it will invest around $1.5 billion in the planned expansion of Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity. Qatar's North Field expansion project will boost its position as the world's top LNG exporter and help guarantee long-term supplies of gas to Europe. The expansion plan includes six LNG trains that will increase its liquefaction capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum to 126 million tonnes by 2027.
