Bangladesh: Country profile

Bangladesh is located in the north‐eastern part of South Asia.



The land area of the country is 147,570 square kilometres with the greater partof the country comprising of flat river basins and deltas.



Due to this geographic formation, Bangladesh has been vulnerable to naturalcalamities such as floods and cyclones.



In 2010, population of Bangladesh was about 150 million.

Bangladeshi economy is heavily reliant on service sector, agriculture and lightindustries.

An average economic growth rate of about 5.5% was maintained during the last
decade.

However, the high level of population growth had put continuous pressure on
the country’s growing economy.

Energy Resources and Use•

The energy sector is governed by a hierarchy of state organizations and theMinistry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MOPEMR) functions at the topof this governing structure.

•

Natural gas in Bangladesh was first discovered in 1957.

•

According to the latest estimates, Bangladesh has about 3,300 million tons of coalresources out of which 880 million tons are proven reserves.

•

Though smaller in quantity compared to gas and coal reserves, oil deposits (ofabout 40 million barrels) also have been discovered in Bangladesh.

•Due to the natural flat terrain, the hydroelectric potential is relatively small and isestimated to be around 330 MW, out of which 230 MW have already beendeveloped.

IEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

Energy Resources and Use•Apart from the use of these indigenous energy resources, liquid petroleum fuels areimported, mainly for the transportation sector.
•To achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to alleviate poverty in linewith Vision 2021, Bangladesh has to meet increasing energy demand.
• In order to ensure energy security as well as to meet the increasing energy demand,the primary energy source of the country especially gas, coal and other energy
resources have been taken into consideration.
•To achieve this goal mid‐term and long‐term plan has been undertaken for
exploration, development and production of domestic primary fuel such as gas andcoal.

IEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

Present status of Energy Sector•

Known commercial energy resources in Bangladesh include indigenous natural gas,coal, imported oil and hydro‐electricity.

•

Biomass accounts for about 38% of the primary energy and the rest 62% is being
met by commercial energy.

•

Natural gas accounts for about 75% of the commercial energy.

•

Imported oil accounts for the lion's share of the rest.

•

Average increase of energy consumption is about 7% per annum.

•

Per capita consumption of energy in Bangladesh is on an average 160 kgoe
(Kilogram Oil Equivalent) and per capita generation of electricity is 250 kWh,which is lower than those of South Asian neighboring countries.

IEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

Natural Gas• Presently, 79 wells in 18 gas fields are in production.
• A total of 708.92 billion cubic feet (BCF) gas was produced in the fiscal year 2010‐2011.
• The existing gas source is mainly used in electricity, fertilizer, industry, transportand household.
• Followings are the data related to gas production:
•

•
•
•
•
•

Total no. of gas fields: 24
Total recoverable reserve (proven and probable) : 20.605 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF)
Total gas consumption up to June 2011
: 9.788 TCF.
Total remaining reserve (proven and probable) : 10.817 TCF
Daily gas production: 2000 Million Cubic Feet (MMCF).
Daily demand of gas: 2500+ MMCF
Daily shortage of gas supply: 500+ MMCFIEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

Natural Gas•

In order to meet the increasing energy demand, it will be possible to supply 1920
Million Cubic Feet gas per day to the national grid produced by the National andInternational Oil Companies including import of 500 Million Cubic Feet gas per day
in the form of LNG by June 2013 under mid‐term plan.

•

Besides, it will be possible to supply 880 Million Cubic Feet more gas per day to
the national gas grid at the end of December 2015 under Long‐term plan.

•

After implementation of mid‐term and long‐term plan, it will be possible to supply
additional 2800 Million Cubic Feet gas per day to the national gas grid withpresently supplied 2000 Million Cubic Feet gas per day.

IEEJ: August 2012 All Right Reserved

Demand and Supply Situation• Only 710 BCF (Billion Cubic Feet) gas is being supplied against the average annual
demand of 912 BCF.
• As a result, there exists a shortage of 202 BCF of gas annually.
• According to the projections ,in 2014‐15, total annual demand for gas will stand at1335.0 BCF.
• If the present supply of 2.0 BCF per day remains unchanged then daily shortage
may stand at 1.66 BCF on the basis of the projected demand.
• Hence, it is not possible to meet this shortage with the existing reserves.
• If the reserve capacity does not increase according to the estimation of the Gas
Sector Master Plan, then, there would be huge difference between demand andsupply by 2015.

•

In 2016 and 2017, the production will be greater than the demand and thedemand supply gap will be dissolved for a short period of time.

•

However, the gap will be split again after 2019. The gap would reach 6,000 mmcfd
as of 2030, if the demand supply forecast drastically changes.

•

In the Government Target Case, the gas production is derived from the "Gas
Evacuation Plan (2010‐2015)" and expected gas production from each gas field
extrapolated up to 2030.

Major difficulties in making policies
With the expected development of the country in the coming years, the energy
demand of Bangladesh is also expected to grow at a rapid pace led by electricity
demand projected to grow at about 8% a year.

But a good number of obstacles are in place in order to fulfill
demand growth, such as:

this energy

1. Delay in finalization of National Energy Policy.
2. Finalization of National Coal Policy.
3. Coal exploitation is constrained by concerns over extraction methods, thetechnological security and the possible adverse social consequences.

Major difficulties in making policies


The Government is taking steps to resolve the problems in the coal sector with aview to making it a major source of primary energy supply in the future.



The steps being taken include:– Formation of coal extraction plan consistent with social and environmental
safeguards.
– Building up mass awareness regarding the extraction procedure of coalespecially for the open extraction method.

4. The investment deeds are just too large to be met through the Government's own
resources.
5. Accordingly, a key financing strategy is to mobilize as much financing through PPP
arrangements as possible.

Major difficulties in making policies
4. The Government is also attracting direct foreign investment and domestic
enterprises to invest in the energy sector.
5. Improving efficiency and cost recovery of concerned public enterprises andautonomous bodies.
6. The rising world prices of fuel and the increasing reliance on rental power
plants will have an adverse effect on the financial health of energy sector
entities.
7. Efforts need to be made to help them absorb these costs through priceadjustments and efficiency improvements.
8. Political and vested interests.
9. Huge amount of subsidy for oil import and lower price of gas and otherpetroleum products compare to international price.

Conclusion•

Securing the higher economic growth targets of the Sixth Plan and Vision 2021
will critically depend upon the ability to address the energy constraint facing
Bangladesh.

•

The Government has embarked upon a comprehensive energy sector
development strategy that seeks to substantially increase power and otherenergy supplies and improve sectoral efficiency during the Sixth Plan andbeyond.

•The underlying strategy entails substantial new investments based on public‐
private partnerships, diversifying the sources of energy away from excessive
reliance in gas to coal, hydro, solar and other renewable sources, engaging inenergy trading activities with neighbours, especially India, developing primaryenergy sources including gas and coal, conserving energy, and better use of
installed capacities.

•

The associated policy and institutional framework involves proper enforcing ofenergy, sound legal and regulatory framework for private participation,
enabling environment for energy trade and reforms of energy institutions.
