The government has put the country's first LNG import terminal project on a fast-track route for implementation on a priority basis, to ease the country's energy crisis and accelerate economic growth, said Petrobangla Chairman Hussain Monsur.
The first meeting of the Fast Track Project Monitoring Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, held in Dhaka on Wednesday identified the project as fast-track one, among others.
During the meeting, the prime minister directed the Energy and...
Energy and water security are crucial to human and economic development. The two resources are now more interconnected than ever—significant amounts of water are needed in almost all energy generation processes, from generating hydropower, to cooling and other purposes in thermal power plants, to extracting and processing fuels. Conversely, the water sector needs energy – mainly in the form of electricity – to extract, treat and transport water. Both energy and water are used in the production of crops, including those used to generate energy through biofuels.
But energy and water resources are under unprecedented pressure, and there is growing competition for their use from people, industries, ecosystems, and growing economie...
THE men from a village of beautiful Bangladesh were shouting, beating the ground with long sticks.
Crouching down, growling and marauding, is not a royal bengal tiger but one of their own.
It’s just past dusk and the band of villagers - a bit like volunteer rural firefighters - are demonstrating how they balance protecting the endangered bengal tiger, the national animal of Bangladesh, with safeguarding the village community.
We’re in the Sundarban of Bangladesh - a vast natural wonderland seen by few Westerners. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is the largest mangrove forest-wetland in the world and is populated by hundreds of bird and fish species, reptiles, deer and dolphins - an...
There is mounting criticism of the New Zealand Government for getting the 60-seat boat built cheaply in Bangladesh instead of the country. A business group says the process for buying a new ferry from Bangladesh with aid money was flawed from the beginning.

The government is going to implement the 450MW Bibiyana-1 power plant project through
bidder’s credit instead of independent power producer (IPP), after cancelling Summit Group’s bid.
According to official sources, the Power Division has taken up an initiative in this regard last week on the basis of a recommendation of the government’s Power Development Board (PDB).
An official at the Power Division said the bidder’s credit means the project will be implemented in the public sector through funding by the contractor....
In a cavernous hangar, an imam recites a short prayer as workers gather round. When he has finished, managers wearing white overalls and hardhats mount the platform, pick up wooden mallets and strike an aluminium keel.
The noise ricochets around Western Marine Shipyards, one of Bangladesh’s leading shipyards, as everyone applauds. The keel is the foundation and spine of any ship, and this short keel-laying ceremony marks the start of work on the shipyard’s latest order. Work also recommences on the 13 other ships, fishing trawlers and ferries in various stages of construction at the yard.
