GAS AMADER SHOMPOD (GAS) PROKOLPO

Starting time: January 2016 Ending time: December, 2016 Project area: Dhaka North City Corporation Number of target people: Around 5,00,000.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT Wastage is eating up significant quantities of natural gas in

Bangladesh, which is suffering from a severe gas crisis that has pushed the government to halt new gas connections to consumers.

Since there is no incentive to conserve, there is significant wastage of gas, the study said, adding that the requisite inspections and maintenance are also often neglected.

In Bangladesh, gas for households is provided under fixed rate and this encourages unlimited usage at each households.

The Helios Holding, a Japanese private company with the assistance of Titas Gas will implement two projects of introducing 2.60 lakh prepaid gas metres (PGM) in the capital city and the commercial capital of the country aimed at preventing the wastage of natural gas from July 2014-June 2022 and Karnaphuli from July 2014-2020.

So, it will take more 5 to 7 years to completely make all the fixed billing system to PGM, so as wastage will be continued in this sector.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT (CONT.)

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is the most environment-friendly gas, which is introduced in Bangladesh for transportation since 2003.

People waste this gas by keeping engines of the transport idly.

People use private cars for really short trips, where people can go by walk and walking is healthy.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

Reducing wastage of natural gas in domestic and transportation sectors by 30% (of the 5,00,000 people) through awareness building in the Dhaka North City Corporation Area.
