Bangladesh Government Considers LNG Transportation from Bhola Amid Gas Crisis
NATURAL GAS
The Bangladesh government is addressing a gas crisis due to declining domestic production and insufficient import infrastructure. The Energy Division is exploring the use of idle gas from Bhola. Previously, Intraco was authorized to transport gas from Bhola to Dhaka, starting in December 2023, using compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders.
The initial supply target was set at 5 million cubic feet per day, with a goal of reaching 25 million cubic feet. However, actual supply has only reached 800,000 to 900,000 cubic feet per day and is further declining.
