The government is expected to import small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) up to 450 mmcf per day through installing three floating storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU) at three points.
"We are to undertake an initiative to import small scale LNG by installing three FRSU at Sangu, KAFCO (Karnaphuli Fertilizer Company Limited) and Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Ltd. (CUFL)," Secretary of Energy and Mineral Resources Division Nazimuddin Chowdhury said recently.
He said the imported LNG would be supplied through Sangu, KAFCO and CUFL, adding, "the government would import small scale LNG in one year to meet the domestic demand."
He said the government would utilize suspended ready pipeline of Sangu, jetty of KAFCO and CUFL.
A study is going on what type of FRSU would be installed there for 150 mmcfd for each unit. The initiative is still at academic stage, he said.
