👍…..bangla gas generation is down 10% and coal generation is up 12% to 28% of total capacity since start of 2025…….and up 23% since 2021…….gas is in a death spiral till new resources are brought online which could take years……phulbari 2yrs to get to first coal potentially 2028,with $17-20 bln dollars of overburden to distribute before that

So gas seems to be acceptable to talk about with Yunus even though it’s depleting faster than water in a bucket full of holes……they have ramped and spoken about the drill baby drill but don’t have the experts or money to see it through,geologically I believe it’s a bit hit and miss to find it?,it’s difficult to process and distribute as it’s an unstable product……imported gas is even more processed to get it to a compressed liquid state,there is instability and danger around every corner for mishandling?

Coal on the other hand is absolutely the opposite to gas,cheap to transport and distribute,safe to handle even by the least experienced operators……the coal fields in dnijpur are already sized and they know exactly where to fuel is,the only area that has undergone a full assessment for environmental etc is phulbari!…..we have just read an article that’s says how critical to the economy coal generated electricity is,does it not appear now that all roads are leading to domestic coal extraction!!

My bets were placed on it happening over a year ago,I think there are nutters on advfn that are saying the license is invalid 😂…….can you imagine Power China not doing their due diligence when they went from a mou to full contract in 2024…….

Green cuckoos keep buying the cheapest solar/wind infrastructure in the world from China,they know the energy to produce these things comes from the monster coal districts in China yet they want the cheap produce 🙄…….nutters

China saw a surge in new coal power in the first half of the year even as the country added record levels of clean energy capacity, according to a report published Monday.

Good read……now if they prescribe domestic resources then they have instant half price coal too…….tick tock 👍

Energy,energy,energy…..Chamber of commerce begging for reliability

"Private investment dropped to 22.48 percent of the GDP in FY25, the lowest in the last 5 years. Both the opening of LCs and the import of capital machinery have declined," said DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed while presenting the review report at the chamber's office in Dhaka yesterday.

"Strengthen law and order and ensure uninterrupted and reliable energy supply to improve the business environment," he added.

Bangla Energy&Mineral resources execs touring oil refineries and coal fired steam turbines……probably more interesting than solar panels 😉

As part of the "1st Indonesia-Bangladesh Joint Working Group on Energy", on 23 August 2025, Bangladesh’s delegation visited the oil refinery of PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional & coal-fired steam power plant (PLTU) of PT Sumber Segara Primadaya in Cilacap, Central Java.

Have to admire the resolve of the EC……jamaat and NCP have been baying for proportional representation and chief election commissioner has said sod off it’s not in the constitution 😂

"The day the government seeks to make me act according to its orders, I will no longer remain in this chair,"

You gotta read this stuff to see the eye watering figures to “transition “……..Bangladesh one of the poorest least developed countries in the world producing micro amounts of c02 and the Gates foundation/EU funded Centre for Policy Dialogue spending their resources on this green conversion therapy……..let’s just have a look down the sofa at Yunus,s palace and see if the money for this tree hugging crap is down there……

Between $35.2 and $42.6 billion in renewable energy investments is required to meet the 2040 target. For solar, $16.5 billion is required; $12.6 billion for wind; $6 billion for hydropower and $7.4 billion for imports and storage solutions.

I think when the cuckoo govt took over they had a headline grabber of “100 new gas wells by end of 2025”……..after many follow up articles the reality will be 3 wells may come online because they don’t have the resources and expertise to implement such a grand plan……..so more expenditure on imports is the only way,Yunus has done nothing for Bangladesh only borrowing excessively to keep it afloat……..Teesta in conjunction with Phulbari could save the country’s skin if they committed

“ and extraction from new mines is not started”……..yep….bring that on 😉

The country's gas reserves are running out. Production is declining continuously. If new gas fields are not discovered and extraction from new mines is not started, domestic reserves may run out in the next eight years.

Sorry it is a year old that article,but my point was it’s becoming basic economics that import fuel is devastating to exchequer’s

The cost of electricity generated through imported coal in P@kistan stands at Rs20.02 per kilowatthour as opposed to indigenous coal at Rs14.19/kWh…….just for curiosity I converted to Bangladesh Taka equals 6.08 Taka which is cheaper/level with the gas Bangladesh is using from the article last night,and more importantly P@kistan coal is absolute crap at that base cost compared to the grade A fuel in the dnajpur area………

P@kistan, a country of more than 240 million people, depends chiefly on natural gas to produce electricity, but has been looking to boost coal-fired output to save costs. The country, with a total installed electricity generation capacity of approximately 41,268 megawatts, relies heavily on imported fuels, including on Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG), coal and furnace oil, which account for nearly 47 percent of its power generation mix.

Centre for Policy Dialogue Bangladesh was preaching to students yesterday,lots of colourful screens and full of energy experts!…..the thing was to be part of this seminar you had to be a green energy expert!….so it was just an exercise in brainwashing around 200 students……had a better look at who funds the Centre for policy dialogue as I’ve suspected for along time the ship loads of material it pumps out on a weekly basis it must be well funded?………so to start with the biggest donor is the super green Bill Gates foundation,topped off with EU money and a few other nutters……..

Have a little read of this article,it’s very sobering the state of the gas situation,and I mean diabolical!!…..the article is even insinuating Petrobangla is understating gas demand considerably,it has gas down as the cheapest fuel and the reason for that is because bangla still produces a good lump of gas from its own wells but they are depleting fast,coal on the other hand is the next cheapest fuel even though most of it is imported,I mentioned last week there has been a big ramp up in coal use for electricity generation from around 5-6% in 2021 to 28% last month,the energy advisor and Petrobangla must know if they opened up just phulbari the country would have a ready supply of domestic fuel way cheaper than the home produced gas and imported lng………

In my opinion it’s screaming louder than ever domestic coal,phulbari could supply half of all the coal required in Bangladesh and if they reclaimed the rest of the areas around Bara later they have a massive cost effective resource for the next 20-25yrs!!

Natural gas remains Bangladesh's most cost-effective power source – Tk6–8 per unit, versus Tk12–15 for coal and Tk25–27 for liquid fuel.

Yet the irony is stark: the cheapest source is also the most unreliable.

I know I’ve said this before but the well informed Gcm resources sponsored phulbari.org website has another section there’s the Home page,Benefits and an under construction section “More”…….now everything that’s unfolded since March 2024 has been put on this site,including an uncanny ability for rumour/speculation on that site to transpire 😉……..now what’s going to be added to the new “More” section…..this is imho the start of one heck of a program 👍

https://www.phulbari.org/

Was thinking earlier….there’s going to be a loss of agricultural land when the phulbari development kicks off,that’s going to be a big lever for green cuckoo’s against the development but the Teesta project is going to reclaim thousands of acres around these newly constructed embankments,they should be some of the most fertile land in the country after mostly being formed from reclaimed riverbed material and add in mega drainage infrastructure during monsoon season and then slammed into reverse during dry periods 👍

So my point is,this is a brilliant plan to work Teesta into the phulbari mega project,farmers don’t just get paid off,they can be re settled speedily if they want to continue farming inside the Teesta project zone with better prospects with water management 👍

Win win all round

NCP visit will go something like…….how many dollars do you need to fook off from playing politics?…….what a bunch of opportunists…..I can’t forget when half of their top brass went to seaside at Cox while rest of bangla watched the unveiling of the national charter…….

Looking good ladies and gentlemen….😉

Might be nothing but imho something is stirring 👍

This is the first demo I’ve seen regarding “No Phulbari” for a long time,only half a dozen comments but one translated comment says “Go ahead”….????
