Bangladesh Banks on LNG to Solve Energy Crisis

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Bangladesh is banking on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) to solve an energy crisis that has caused unprecedented outages across the nation.

Bangladesh also plans to improve its regional transmission and renewable-energy capacities. But the South Asian nation also recently scrapped a plan to end nearly 10 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired power generation, citing the heavy cost of alternatives and other financing issues.
