National Energy Balance of Bangladesh for FY 2018-19 [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 is assumed to be entirely allocated to brick manufacturing.
  • Coal stock change is reported by BCMCL as the change in inventory, with a minor discrepancy, not matching with the differences between production and consumption.
  • Coal import: HCU data is used, not matching BBS statistics.
  • Coal consumption for power generation: BCMCL sales data is used (which does not match BPDB consumption data).
  • Coal sales by BCMCL to industry (XMC-CMC Consortium) is allocated to non-energy consumption as it is separately reported from industrial own use figure.
  • 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 assumed to include autoproducer 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 complete.
  • Fractionation output is the sum of petrol, diesel and kerosene production reported by Petrobangla, plus LPG production from Kailashtila Fractionation Plant reported in BBS statistics.
  • Refinery output is the sum of LPG, naphta, MS, HOBC, 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 reported to be zero for this fiscal year.
  • 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 by BPC in 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.
