National Energy Balance of Bangladesh for FY 2017-18 [Explanatory Notes]

  • Coal calorific value: Imported = 20.9 GJ/tonne (net, UNSD 2014), domestic = 25.68 MJ/kg (gross, BCMCL. Converted to NCV = GCV x 95%).
  • Coal import and BCMCL coal sales to industry are assumed to be entirely allocated to brick manufacturing.
  • Coal stock change is reported by BCMCL as the change in inventory, with a significant discrepancy, not matching the difference between production and consumption.
  • Coal consumption for power generation: BCMCL sales data is used (which does not match BPDB consumption data).
  • Natural gas calorific value: 0.932 ktoe/mmcm (Petrobangla gas field weighted average (gross). Converted to NCV = GCG x 90%)
  • Natural gas field consumption data is unavailable, and is assumed to be zero.
  • Natural gas sub-sector consumption (gray italic) are shown for reference purpose only. The figures are likely to include auto-producer gas consumption, therefore, not reflected in the national energy balance calculation.
  • Crude oil calorific value: 42.3 GJ/ton (net, UNSD 2014)
  • Crude oil figures include both Murban and Arabian Light Crude from BBS statistics.
  • NGL and condensate calorific value is not available, therefore, assumed to be the same as that of LPG at 47.3 GJ/ton (net, UNSD 2014).
  • Fractionation input includes both Petrobangla companies and BPC companies + private inputs. Fractionation output may not be exhaustive data.
  • Fractionation output is the sum of petrol, diesel and kerosene production from fractionation reported by Petrobangla, which may not be exhaustive data.
  • Refinery output is the sum of LPG, naphta, MS, HOBC, Jet A-1, SKO, HSD, LDO and FO production data reported by ERL.
  • Petroleum products calorific value is the weighted average (by sales quantity of major products reported by BPC) of UNSD net calorific value, at 0.95 toe/ton.
  • Petroleum products import is the sum of refined oil (reported to include Jet A-1, SKO, MS, and HSD), furnace oil, and private LPG imports on BBS statistics.
  • Petroleum products export is naphtha export figure reported on BBS statistics.
  • Maritime & aviation bunkers include Jet A-1, HFO, and diesel.
  • Petroleum products input to power generation is the use of HSD and FOHS for power generation reported by BPC in Shech Report.
  • Private import of LPG is assumed to be entirely allocated to residential sector.
  • Petroleum products industry sector consumption is the sum of HSD, SKO, MS, HOBC, and FOHS use in industry sector reported by BPC in Shech Report.
  • Petroleum products transport sector consumption is the sum of HSD, SKO, MS, HOBC, FOHS, and Jet A-1 use in transport sector reported by BPC in Shech Report.
  • Petroleum products residential sector consumption is the sum of kerosene (SKO) and diesel (HSD) use in the sector reported by BPC in Shech Roport, plus entire private LPG import (privately imported LPG which may be consumed for road transport and commercial usage could not be separated, therefore included in residential sector consumption).
  • Petroleum products commercial & public services consumption is the sum of HOBC, MS, SKO, HSD, and FOHS use in building (others) sector reported by BPC in Shech Report. Privately imported LPG consumed in commercial & public services is not included as it could not be separated from residential sector sales.
  • Petroleum products agriculture sector consumption is the diesel sales to agricultural sector reported by BPC in Shech Report.
  • Petroleum products non-energy consumption is the Other products use reported in BPC Shech Report.
  • Gross and net power generation data are respectively available only for hydro and public thermal power generations. For generation from other sources, station usage is deemed to be nil.
  • Electricity consumption in commercial & public services sector is the sum of commercial and others sectors consumption.
