Feasibility Study on Energy Conservation and Modernization of Chhatak Cement Company Ltd N E DO- I C-00ER38 Feasibility Study on Energy Conservation and Modernization of Chhatak Cement Company Ltd. March, 2 0 0 1 New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Entrusted to Japan Consulting Institute 020005072-2 Feasibility Study on Energy Conservation and Modernization of Chhatak Cement Company Ltd. Japan Consulting Institute March, 2001 Page: 160 Study purpose; The objective is to conduct a feasibility study on energy conservation and modernization of Chhatak Cement Plant, and to study the possibility of the future Clean Development Mechanism Project. This Project is expected to contribute to energy saving in industries and the abatement of the greenhouse gas emission in Bangladesh through the introduction of Japanese energy-saving technology. In addition, the Project is intended to contribute to industrial modernization required for sustaining the economic development in Bangladesh with the future implementation of CDM Project. PREFACE This report concerns the results of the Feasibility Study on Energy Conservation and Modernization of Chhatak Cement Plant in the People ’s Republic of Bangladesh. The Study was organized by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization affiliated to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan) in conjunction with the “Basic Study for Promotion of Joint Implementation, etc. in 200(7’, which was entrusted by NEDO to Japan Consulting Institute (JCI). Japan intends to achieve Greenhouse Gas reductions to help the prevention of global warming through positive use of the Joint Implementation or Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) adopted under the Kyoto Protocol, a flexible mechanism within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The study was conducted to evaluate the project as a possible CDM Project. The Project is expected to contribute to energy saving in the plant and the abatement of Greenhouse Gas emissions through the introduction of Japanese energy saving technology. In addition, the Project is intended to contribute to industrial modernization required to sustain economic development with the future CDM project. JCI would like to express sincere appreciation for the kind support from the Ministry of Industries and the Ministry of Environment and Forest in Bangladesh and for practical cooperation extended by the Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation and Chhatak Cement Co.

  • Bangladesh Page 1 of 19
    Bangladesh Page 1 of 19 Bangladesh Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy of 147 million citizens. Khaleda Zia, head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), stepped down as prime minister on October 27 when her five-year term of office expired, and she transferred power to a caretaker government that would prepare for general elections in 2007. The civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government's human rights record remained poor, and the government continued to commit numerous serious abuses. Extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrest and detention, and politically motivated violence were among the most egregious violations. Security forces acted with impunity, and committed acts of physical and psychological torture. In addition violence against journalists continued, as did infringement on religious freedoms. Government corruption remained a significant problem. Violence against women and children also was a major problem, as was trafficking in persons. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life Security forces committed numerous extrajudicial killings. The police, Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), and the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) used unwarranted lethal force. Although there was a decrease in the number of killings by security personnel (see section 1.c.), nearly all incidents received only administrative investigation. According to local human rights organizations, no case resulted in criminal punishment, and in the few instances in which charges were levied, punishment of those found guilty was predominantly administrative.
