Asia Energy - Coal and Power for Bangladesh

The recent discovery of coal in Bangladesh's north-western zone has enticed global multinationals, including the Asia Energy, to pour millions of dollars into the promising energy sector.
Experts say the country is looking into the possibility of promoting alternative energy fuel as it faces shortage of natural gas.
Latest figures available with the state-run Petrobangla indicate that the country's gas reserves estimated at 13.75 trillion cubic feet (tcf) will exhaust by 2015.
Experts, who were involved in drafting the first ever coal policy of the country, have suggested that coal should also be promoted as "poverty alleviation fuel".
