PROJECT RATIONALE
Problems to solve
- Bangladesh is very dependent on traditional sources of energy (e.g. Fossil Fuels and Firewood).
- Natural Gas reserves are depleting due to high rate of consumption.
- Natural Gas pipelines do not reach all over Bangladesh.
- Growing requirements in households and industries are causing an exponential increase in demand that is not being met.
- Primary source of energy for the majority of Bangladesh’s household needs, come from kerosene, wood, jute stick, jute stick charcoal and dried cow dung to name a few.
- Existing traditional fuels such as the ones named above have high negative environmental impact and are hazardous to health.
- Inadequate supply of fuel for industry is an impediment for economic growth.
Solution
- LPG will provide an alternative that is cleaner, more efficient and safer source of energy to replace these traditional fuels.
- In view of depleting natural gas reserves the only solution to replace natural gas is LPG and LNG (Imported) in the long run.
- LPG is easy to transport to the hinter lands of Bangladesh that do not have access to Natural Gas pipelines.
- The unmet demand which is increasing exponentially can only be met by LPG in both household and industries.
- LPG is the only solution which can meet the requirements of households in Bangladesh.
- LPG will provide a cleaner and more efficient alternative to the primary sources of energy currently available.
For the industrial sector, LPG can solve the fuel crises for generators, ovens and boilers etc.
