“If fuel sources are managed efficiently, the situation would not be worsening. Experts said Bangladesh can import coal for coal fired power plants and avoid fuel and also LNG during the crisis period. According to Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources Corporation (Petrobangla), 115 cargoes of LNG are planned for import this year. Due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, we will not have to face problems for refined fuel oil,” said BPC Director Dr AKM Azadur Rahman earlier. Of the energy, Bangladesh usually imports major portion of energy from Middle Eastern countries.
