If a feasibility test is approved, it will be Bangladesh’s first step towards producing LNG domestically. Bangladesh entered the LNG era in August 2018 importing it from Qatar to meet the domestic fuel demands. Bangladesh now buys LNG from Qatar and Oman, and currently procures 600 million cubic feet (mmcf) of LNG per day. State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid told Dhaka Tribune: “Within a few years, the daily domestic gas demand will increase to around 10,000mmcf. On the other hand, the entity signed almost a similar deal with Oman trade International to import the bulk LNG.
