Expensive LNG Expansion: How foreign gas interests are a climate disaster for Bangladesh
Bangladesh is facing an energy crisis, having suffered repeated blackouts caused by an increasing over-reliance on expensive and polluting fossil gas imports.
Rather than decreasing dependence on volatile international fossil fuel markets, and prioritising clean domestic renewable energy, Bangladesh is being pushed by foreign interests to double down on liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Bangladesh can choose a pathway with clean, green, renewable energy that will protect the environment and allow people to enjoy cheap, affordable electricity.

A Carbon Catastrophe in the Making: The dirty energy plans in Chattogram, Bangladesh

Plans by companies predominantly from Japan and the United States to massively expand fossil fuels in Bangladesh overwhelmingly focus on the Chattogram division, the location of two-thirds of the proposed new fossil fuel capacity in Bangladesh.
