The Trouble with Gas in Bangladesh

The statement criticizes the World Bank and IFC for supporting an unsustainable gas-based energy model in Bangladesh and calls for an immediate shift toward renewable energy to avoid stranded assets and align with the Paris Agreement.

• The World Bank and IFC are held responsible for Bangladesh's volatile and unsustainable gas-based energy model due to their financing of gas-fired power stations, pipelines, and LNG regasification plants.
• There is a risk of US$379 billion in planned gas infrastructure in Asia becoming stranded assets, comprising $189 billion for power plants, $54 billion for pipelines, and $136 billion for LNG terminals.
• The author demands that the World Bank remove domestic gas exploration and LNG imports from the Bangladesh Country Partnership Framework 2022–2027 and support the goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050.
