0 NEDO-IC—00ER37 Feasibility Study on Ashuganj NGL Fractionation Plant March, 2001 New Energy and Industrial Technologies DeveIopment Organization (NED0) trusted to Japan Oil Engineering Co., Ltd. 020005045-8 Feasibility Study on Ashuganj NGL Fractionation Plant Entrusted to Japan Oil Engineering Company Limited March, 2001 Study Purpose: The COPS to the UNFCCC was held in Kyoto in December 1997, resulting in the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol sets GHGs reduction targets of each developed countries intended to ensure the reduction of GHGs from developed countries at least by 5% from 1990 levels by the period from 2008 to 2012. Japan committed to the world a 6% reduction in the Protocol. This investigation implements the feasibility study on Ashuganj NGL Fractionation Plant Project which installed the Fractionation Plant for Petrobangla and it’s subsidiary company in Bangladesh to extract LPG for the public welfare, Motor Spirit and High Speed Diesel from NGL, and its’ implementation is expected to be authorized as the CDM program in future. Foreword This report presents the results of the feasibility study on Ashuganj NGL plant, which is entrusted to Japan Oil Engineering Company Limited by the New Energy and Industrial Technologies Development Organization (NEDO) as the body incharge in the implementation of “the Basic Survey Project for Joint Implementation, etc” in 2000. The third Session of the Conference of the Parties (COPS) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held in Kyoto in December 1997, resulting in the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol sets Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) reduction targets of each developed countries. All of these targets are intended to ensure the reduction of GHGs from developed countries at least by 5% of the 1990 levels through the period from 2008 to 2012. Japan committed to the world a 6% reduction in the Protocol. Also, in the Kyoto Protocol, several international mechanisms was introduced in order to achieve the target smoothly including sharing of the reduction of GHGs, such as Joint Implementation (JI) between developed countries; and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) whereby developed and developing countries jointly reduce emissions. Moreover, the COP6 was held on November 2000 at Hague, Netherlands for the preparation of agreement of the details of Kyoto Protocol in order to achieve a prompt conclusion and publishing of the Kyoto Protocol. However the mutual consensus for the details of the Protocol was not finalized due to the many differences of opinion among the countries, such as the measures of absorption capabilities of forest, limitation of adoption and respect of Kyoto Mechanism, which were related to each other and the ideal method of supporting the developing countries. And therefore the discussion in COP6 would be carried over till around May - June 2001. This Feasibility Study, is intended to promote the project for the reduction of GHGs by the introduction and utilization of advanced technology of saving-energy and alternative petroleum energy together with the contribution of continuous - 1 - economic development in the partner country. The Study was executed as a worthful project under CDM project in the Basic Investigation Program of Joint Implementation in 2000 by the Japanese cooperative organization who intends to promote the implementation of project. This report is made as the result of Feasibility Study on the Ashuganj NGL Fractionation Plant, which produce LPG, Motor Spirits and High Speed Diesel from Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) that the NGL is not utilized properly in Bangladesh, and the plant will be constructed at Ashuganj where is considered the most convenient location for both producer of NGL and consumer. Japan Oil Engineering Company Limited having been entrusted by NEDO prepared this report along with a strong commitment to promote the implementation of Ashuganj NGL Fractionation Plant project with the cooperation of counterpart in Bangladesh, to contribute to the social economic development of Bangladesh as well as the restriction of deforesting and advanced utilization of energy through the implementation of project. Finally, we would like to sincerely express our deep gratitude to Messrs. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Petrobangla, and other concerned parties and organizations, who corporated with us in the data collection and providing valuable advices necessary for carrying out this feasibility study.
