National Energy Balance of Bangladesh for FY 2020-21 [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 supply except for power generation and own consumption is assumed to be entirely allocated to brick manufacturing.
  • Coal stock change is the figure reported as sedimented coal stock change by BCMCL, not balancing with the residue between production and consumption.
  • Coal import: HCU data is used, not BBS data (as BBS data is probably a partial data). HCU data is assumed to include BCPCL coal import data for Payra Power Plant which is being reported from FY 2019-10. Import other than Payra Power Plant use is entirely allocated to brick manufacturing.
  • 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: 0.933 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 includes Petrobangla companies only. Fractionation at BPC companies and private is recorded as interproduct transfer.
  • 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.
  • Fractionation output from condensate sold to BPC companies and private companies are not available, therefore it is assumed to be petroleum products at 79% efficiency.
  • Petroleum products calorific value is the weighted average (by sales quantity of major products reported by BPC) of UNSD net calorific value, at 0.98 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 Naphta export on BBS statistics.
  • Maritime & aviation bunkers include Jet A-1, HFO, and diesel.
  • Petroleum products input to power generation is the summation of furnace oil sales and diesel sales to power generation reported by BPC.
  • Petroleum products refinery output is the sum of LPG, Naphta, MS, SKO, HSD, LDO, and FD production reported by ERL.
  • Private import of LPG is assumed to be entirely allocated to residential sector
  • Petroleum products industry sector consumption is the sum of petrol, octane, diesel, kerosene, octane, LDO sales to industry sector reported by BPC, plus naphta sales on BBS data.
  • Petroleum products transport sector consumption is the sum of octane, petrol, kerosene, diesel, furnance and other petroleum products sales to transport sector reported by BPC (Jet A-1 domestic sales could not be separated from international aviation bunkers, therefore deemed to be zero).
  • Petroleum products residential sector consumption is the sum of LPG and kerosene sales to the sector reported by BPC, 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 LPG, petrol, kerosene, diesel and octane sales to building (others) sector reported by BPC. 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.
  • Petroleum products non-energy consumption is the sum of JBO, lube oil, grease, bitumen, SBP, and MTT sales reported by BPC.
  • Furnace oil includes LSFO used for maritime transport
  • 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.
