The Economics of Gas Utilization in a Gas-Rich, Oil-Poor Country: The Case of Bangladesh

Author

  • Gunter Schramm

Abstract

It has become an article of faith that clean-burning, low-polluting natural gas is a premium fuel and that on a net heat basis it is inherently more valuable than its closest competitor, fuel oil. This conclusion has been drawn by comparing pollution characteristics of both fuels. While the conclusion is correct, it is correct only in regions that have free access to both natural gas and oil delivered to the user's premises at similar costs per Btu.
