Matarbari Power Plant is raising its Head

The whole Matarbari area has changed; The Matarbari power plant is raising its head, the jetty is being prepared. The Panama-flagged Venus Triumph first landed on the jetty for the Matarbari power plant on December 2020. It brought construction materials for the coal power plant. Even four years ago, only salt cultivation could be seen on Matarbari area in Cox's Bazar district. The days have changed and now there are turbines and chimneys peeking out.

Gradually the construction work began to take the shape of a power plant. And plans to build a deep sea port in the far deep sea have also begun to materialize. The work of building a jetty on the shore has already progressed a lot, and ships have also crowded. Intensive day and night work centered on these construction works at Matarbari Power Plant in Maheshkhali Upazila has already radically changed the landscape of this coastal region.

Many in the private sector, including government policy makers, hope that the island in the south of the country will change as it changes its own economy. On the way there, you can see from a distance all the huge cranes standing with their heads up. Thousands of local and foreign workers are working on this huge construction project with cranes and various heavy equipments.

The government's power department is building a 1,200-megawatt coal based power plant with two units of 600 megawatts each at a cost of about BDT 36,000 crore. Work is also underway to build a deep-sea port for coal imports. Initially, the port was for Matarbari power plants, but according to the plan, it is going to be the first deep sea port in the country. Besides, Matarbari will also be developed as a hub for power and industrial production and fuel import. Several government ministries will implement around 68 numbers of projects there step by step.

In addition to terminals for power generation and gas imports, projects for construction of special economic zones and container terminals have been undertaken. State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid Bipu told, “A big energy security zone is being built around Matarbari in Bangladesh. Matarbari is going to play an important role in the positive change of the economy of Bangladesh.” He said $ 10 billion would be invested in various projects in Matarbari, adding that it would increase employment in the country. With the increase in industrial production, there will be an increase in GDP.

To protect the entire project area, including the Matarbari power plant, from natural disasters, thousands of bighas of land have been filled with sand and soil and raised a few meters above the sea level. In addition to the power plant, thousands of local and foreign workers are spending their time in the construction work including the jetty. Abul Kalam Azad, director of the Matarbari coal power plant project, said "About 56 percent of the project work has been completed. I hope that the first unit of the power plant will come into production in January 2024 and the second unit in July. Now the work of the power plant is going on. Everything needed for the power plant including boilers, turbines, chimneys is in progress. Dams have been built all around.” He said the work of the 14.3 km long naval channel, which is 18 and a half meters deep, has already been completed for the deep sea port. However, the naval channel has been widened from 350 meters to 250 meters. The rest is ongoing.

The Bangladesh government, in collaboration with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), took initiative to set up the power plant on 1,414 acres of land in Matarbari and Dhalghata Union of Maheshkhali. Work started in 2018 beyond the planning stage. All parties, including government policy makers, have long spoken of the need for a deep-sea port in Bangladesh for the growing import-export trade. Although the present government has given priority to the construction of a deep sea port at Sonadia in Maheshkhali, no progress has been made so far.

In such a context, the government initially mentioned a port for the coal-based Matarbari power plant, but later it turned into a commercial port. When the construction work of this port is completed, ships with a capacity of 80 thousand MT will be able to dock in this port with a channel of 59 feet depth. A press release from Toshiba Corporation of Japan, one of Matarbari power plant contractors for the project, said earlier that the deep-sea port to be built with Japan's state-of-the-art Matarbari power plant would be similar to Japan's Kashima port.

Two jetties will now be used for coal power plants at this deep sea port. In addition, a dozen more jetties will be used for other commercial purposes. Project Director said, “Two jetties are already ready, one for coal, the other for oil. Once the channel is ready, the shipping ministry will build six jetties first and six more later."

In August 2015, the government approved a project worth Tk 36,000 crore to build a coal power plant at Matarbari. According to the working paper of the project approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council, ECNEC, JICA will provide Rs 29,000 crore for the Matarbari power plant project. Then, on 27 July, 2017, the government's Coal Power Generation Company signed an agreement with the Japanese consortium Sumitomo Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and IHI Corporation to build a 1,200-megawatt power plant and deep-sea port there.

Golden Fiber | Jute Cultivation in Cumilla is Increasing

The production of golden fiber jute in Brahmanpara upazila of Cumilla district has been as expected this season. As a result, farmers are optimistic about getting a fair price. There is a smile on their faces. Farmers are weaving new dreams in jute cultivation.

Jute cultivation is increasing every year across the country. At one time jute was cultivated on a large scale but for some past years the farmers had refrained from cultivating jute for various reasons. Many believe that the rise in the value of polythene and its use has led to a decline in the use of jute products. Currently, the demand for jute is increasing due to the official ban on the use of polythene. Jute is currently being sold at a price of Tk 2,000 to Tk 2,500 per quintal. 

According to the Brahmanpara Upazila Agriculture Office, jute has been cultivated in 1,000 hectares of land in Brahmanpara upazila this season. The freshness of the jute plant has increased as there is no infestation of insects and spiders in the jute and occasional rain water. Farmers are already busy cutting jute on some lands and conserving fiber.

They said that so far jute cultivation has been good. It costs about seven to eight thousand Taka to cultivate jute on one Bigha of land. Farmers will be able to get more financial benefit if the market price of jute remains good.

A farmer from Charipara village in Chandla union of the upazila, said he is cultivating jute on four Bighas of land this time. The condition of jute is as good as expected. Another farmer said of the same area has sown jute in four Bighas and another one in three Bighas. They said that since the sowing, the appearance of the plant has been in good condition day by day. They said that after cutting the jute, if they get enough water to wake up, there will be no such problems. Farmers are hoping that jute will produce eight to twelve quintal per bigha.

The Upazila Agriculture Officer Mahbubul Hasan said, "Once the farmers turned away from jute cultivation which is associated with the tradition of the Bengali nation, but day by day the farmers of Brahmanpara upazila are inclined to cultivate jute again." The present government is also providing overall support to the farmers for jute cultivation.

BINA-21 Paddy Cultivation | Farmers of Cumilla are Happy

BINA-21 Paddy Cultivation | Farmers of Cumilla are Happy

This new variety of rice (BINA-21) cultivation is less time consuming with less cost. It can survive long droughts. The yield is also doubled. Farmers are getting success in BINA-21 cultivation without Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA).

Recently, Dr. Mohammad Ashiqur Rahman, Senior Scientific Officer and Acting Officer of BINA Comilla Sub-Center, Fahmina Yasmin, Senior Scientific Officer (Department of Plant Breeding) and Scientific Officer Agronomist Mohammad Jewel Sarkar visited the cultivation field. In the field inspection, they saw that the farmer got 5.5 tons of paddies per hectare of land by cultivating BINA-21. In this auspicious season, by cultivating other variety of paddy, they get 3 tons of per hectare. The main season of the crop is yielding like BORO variety.

According to sources, this BINA Dhan-21 was invented from the Neriko-10 variety of rice in Africa. Neriko yields would have been lower. Director General of BINA, Mr. Mirza Mofazzal Islam researched and increased its yield. The height of that variety rice plants was more or less. They are made equal. The size of the paddy is thinned. For the first time without BINA-21, experimental cultivation has been done in 50 hectares of land in Comilla field. It has yielded good yields. It is hoped that in the coming Aush season, the cultivation of BINA Dhan-21 will increase in Cumilla region.

Some farmers of Daya Rampur village in Burichang upazila and from Rampur village in Cumilla Sadar upazila who are cultivating this variety said that they have cultivated BINA Dhan-21 for the first time. At first there was tension over the yield. But there was good yield for the first time. They said that they will cultivate this paddy in more lands in future. Other farmers are also interested in cultivating this variety.

Fahmina Yasmin, Senior Scientific Officer (Department of Plant Breeding) said that the people of Cumilla are amateurs. They like to eat thin rice. Rice from the BINA-21 is also thin. Due to this the farmers will get good profit in this paddy cultivation. Besides, this rice can survive for 20 days without water and will remain silent for 20 days. If it gets water, it will grow again. Dr. Mohammad Ashiqur Rahman, Senior Scientific Officer and Acting Officer said that many lands are lying vacant during the Aush season. Many farmers do not want to cultivate paddy in this season because of low yield.

In other paddy cultivation, the previous yield per hectare was 3 and a quarter tons. Farmers are getting 5 and half tons of paddies per hectare with BINA Dhan-21 cultivation. Besides, due to short life span of paddy, it is possible to grow four crops in one land. Meanwhile, there is no other cost including irrigation in this paddy cultivation.

Director General of BINA, Mirza Mofazzal Islam said that this Bina Dhan-21 was invented from the Neriko-10 variety of rice in Africa. The Neriko yields would have been lower. So the interest of the farmers was less. Yield is increased by applying gamma rays. The height of the plant is equaled to less and more. The size of coarse paddy is thinned. So the interest of farmers in this paddy cultivation has increased. It is hoped that in the coming Aush season all the high lands will be laughed at with BINA-21. The country's food production will be increasing.

Natural Gas in Bangladesh | Reserve for next 100 Years

Reserves of valuable minerals including Monazite, Zircon, Rutile, Calcium Carbonate, Phosphorus, Sulphate and Rare earth elements have been found in an area of around ​​3,100 Square Km at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. In addition, a potential 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserve has been found at the bottom of the ocean, with which it is possible to meet the demand of Natural Gas in Bangladesh for the next 100 years.

At present, Reserve of Natural Gas in Bangladesh will be able to serve the country for next 14 years only. Researchers of our country think that in order to develop the Blue Economy of Bangladesh through efficient use of marine resources and the invented technology should be used at the field level. Natural gas in Bangladesh is one of the main resources for the overall development of the country.

This information was given recently by the speakers and researchers at a seminar titled 'Efficient Use and Challenges of Marine Resources for the Development of Blue Economy' organized at the auditorium of Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute (BORI) at Pechar Dwip, Cox's Bazar. Cox's Bazar Marine Fisheries and Technology Center Chief Scientific Officer Mr. Shafiqur Rahman presented the keynote address at the seminar.

Shafiqur Rahman said, ‘Bangladesh has the exclusive marine economic zone up to about 200 nautical miles in the sea, but on an average we are able to use only 30 nautical miles. In addition, commercial trawlers are not allowed to fish at depths below 40 meters, but they do not comply. Due to lack of fishing experience in the deep sea level, the fishermen of our country are fishing near the coastline. However, some fishermen are being brought from Sri Lanka for training purposes so that our fishermen can also bring fish from the deep sea.

Dr. Shafiq said, ‘Lots of Artemia are imported from abroad every year for use as pony food in hatcheries. But three decades ago, scientists of our country have successfully invented the technology to produce Artemia. Scientists of Bangladesh have invented many technologies in the past for the economic development for the people of this country. But that technology was not used at the field level. In order to develop Blue Economy of Bangladesh, it is not only necessary to innovate the technology, it is also necessary to use that technology at the practical level'.

A total of seven articles including research results of Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute for the financial year 2019-20 were presented in the seminar. At the seminar, Mohammad Zakaria, Senior Scientific Officer, Department of Geological Oceanography, Marine Research Institute, presented the results of a geological survey of rare mineral resources at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. Valuable minerals including monazite, zircon, rutile, calcium carbonate, phosphorus, sulphate and rare earth elements have been found in an area of ​​3,100 sq km at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal. In addition, a potential 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserve for Bangladesh has been found at the bottom of the ocean, with which we will be able to meet our next 100 years of natural gas demand. At present, natural gas in Bangladesh has only 14 years of reserves.

During the seminar, Mr. Tariqul Islam, Scientific Officer, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Mr. Rupak Lodh and Mr. Shahinur Rahman, Scientific Officer, Department of Physical and Space Oceanography, Scientific Officer, Department of Environmental and Climate Research, Department of Oceanography Officers Mir Kashem and Sultan Al Nahyan and Tania Islam, Scientific Officer at the Oceanography Data Center, presented research papers on the potential of depleted food stocks.

Iti Rani Poddar, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology, was the chief guest at the seminar, which was chaired by Mr. Shafiqur Rahman, Director General, Bangladesh Oceanographic Research Institute. In addition, the director of the Atomic Energy Commission beach mineral sand extraction center took part in the discussion. Mohammad Masud Karim, Deputy Director of the Department of Environment Sheikh Nazmul Huda, Fisheries expert Palash Khandaker, Ecolife Manager Md. Abdul Qayyum, industrialist Omar Hasan, journalist Ahmad Gias and others.

Bangladesh currently has demand for 3.7 billion cubic feet natural gas per day (bcfd), whereas the gas supply is 2.7bcfd - a massive shortage of 1bcfd of natural gas every day. The reserve of Natural Gas in Bangladesh will be able to run the country for next 14 years. So the government should take proper decisions and steps to utilize the reserved 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas found beneath the Bay of Bengal.

New Gas well discovered in Srikail | Muradnagar | Cumilla

State oil gas exploration company Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX) have discovered a new gas well at Srikail in Cumilla district. The newly discovered Srikail East-1 gas field is located in Muradnagar upazila of Comilla. It is the country's 28th gas field. BAPEX hopes to extract 20 million cubic feet of gas daily from this gas field. BAPEX started digging for gas wells here on October 28 last year. BAPEX sees this as a hope for the country's natural gas.

BAPEX engineers confirmed the gas level on 03 March 2020, Tuesday after a long four-month excavation work. About two years later a new gas well was discovered in the country. Now in the field the amount of water with gas and the pressure of the gas are monitoring and within few days the task of lifting will be started. As per provided NEWS on various newspapers, the gas pressure is currently 2,000 psr which is higher than other fields. It will be possible to lift 20 million cubic feet of gas daily from this gas field which is located at 3,065 meters beneath the surface. There are process plants nearby. It will be possible to ensure gas supply only by installing a 10 km pipeline from this well to the plant.

After four-month excavation, new gas wells were found under the Srikail gas field. The state-owned oil gas exploration and leasing company BAPEX is happy to find a new gas well in the country. The general public and the government are happy to find new gas amid disappointment over reports of gas leakage in the country.

The well under the Srikail gas field is under the Sreekail East-1 exploration well, the Rupkalpa-1 Khanan Prakalpa located in Bangura, Hajipur, of ​​Nabinagar Upazila, Brahmanbaria district. Digging was started from October last year and the gas started coming out on 2nd March after a pressure test by opening the well with technical explosive. The test is now being conducted to determine how much of this gas can be lifted commercially.

Initially, BAPEX can easily supply 10-12 million cubic feet of gas per day from here which can be lift up to 20 million cubic feet. As long as the pipeline is pulled up with the srikail main process plant, the gas of this well will be added to the national grid. As soon as the government finishes acquiring land and other materials to build the pipeline, gas from this well will be added to the national grid.

According to the BAPEX data, after the three-dimensional geological survey in 2017 and 2018, BAPEX identified existence of gas at that location. Later on 28 October 2019, they started digging the project by planting a rig in the agricultural land at Hajipur village. The excavation was completed on 31 January 2020. After several tests, the gas pressure test was started from 2nd March with the experimental pipe under fire.

BAPEX could not find any new gas fields or wells in the country for last 2 years. The officials of this organization are now very happy to discover the well after such a long time. The pressure and volume of gas in the well has already stirred hope. They think gas will be accessible to the general public as soon as government allocation is available.

Thanks,
