infrastructure is quite small‚ insufficient and poorly managed. The per capita energy consumption in Bangladesh is one of the lowest (136 kWH) in the world. Noncommercial energy sources‚ such as wood‚ animal wastes‚ and crop residues‚ are estimated to account for over half of the country’s energy consumption. Bangladesh has small reserves of oil and coal‚ but very large natural gas resources. Commercial energy consumption is mostly natural gas (around 66%)‚ followed by oil‚ hydropower and coal.

markets occurs. A crisis can develop due to industrial actions like union organized strikes and government embargoes. The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at oil refineries and port facilities that restrict fuel supply. An emergency may emerge during unusually cold winters due to increased consumption of energy. Pipeline failures and other accidents may cause minor interruptions to energy supplies. A crisis could possibly emerge after infrastructure
