Analysis of Energy Sector of Bangladesh’s to Ensure the
Route of Vision 2041
Evening all, I can't post the link for this because it is a Pdf, but below is some of the wording from the coal part of a document that was signed off in January 2022 ..... Maybe if you copy the header into Google you will see the same full document covering all areas of energy. Also just thinking, if this document was written at the end of 2021, then it must have even more relevance now knowing how much more imported coal is costing today ......
3.7.3. Coal Energy is the main indicator of economic growth for a country and constitutes one of the vital infrastructural inputs in socio-economic development. At present, natural gas is the main indigenous primary energy source of Bangladesh. Several studies reveal that domestic production of natural gas. will be depleting soon in the near future. Considering the uncertainty of sustainable supply of primary energy, it is imperative to diversify the primary energy sources in the country. In that case, domestic coal can be a major alternative energy source for the energy security of the country. At present 2.09% of electricity has been produced from domestic coal [4]. Five coal fields so far discovered, namely Barapukuria, Khalaspir, Phulbari, Jamalganj and Dighipara If initiatives are taken for exploration all over the country, there are enough possibilities to discover more coal mines. Out of the discovered mines, coal from 4 deposits (118-509 meters) is extractable at present. Production from Jamalganj may not be viable with present day’s technology due to the depth of the deposits. The amount of coal reserves in Bangladesh coal fields are shown in the Table 13. The Coal Reserves have increased from 1054 Million Metric Ton to 5738 Million Metric Ton during the tenure of the present government for feasibility study of Jamalganj Coal field.
Coal might be the alternative fuel to natural gas. These coals can conveniently meet the energy needs of Bangladesh for 50 years. It is notable that the coal of Bangladesh is considered to be high quality in terms of its high level of heat generation capacity as well as low Sulphur content. Some key information about the last Six Years Coal production and Import is presented in the Table 14.
