Asia Energy Corporation (Bangladesh) Pvt. Ltd. has launched a Bangla website to make available information about its Phulbari coalmine project, reports UNB.
The new website address is: www.phulbaricoal.com.
Speaking at a function on this occasion at a city hotel Thursday evening, Asia Energy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gary N Lye said they are waiting for the government's approval to implement the Phulbari coalmine project. The UK-based company conducted a feasibility study on Phulbari coalmine project and determined an approximate reserve of 572 million tonnes.
Finally, it submitted a US$ 2 billion-development scheme during the immediate past BNP-led alliance government in October 2005 to extract coal from the mine through an open-cast mining method. But the plan is yet to be approved by the government.
Replying to a question, the Asia Energy Bangladesh chief said that the open-cast mining would be the only suitable option for Phulbari coalmine project to extract the highest amount of coal from the mine. He said the company is ready to deliver a reliable supply of affordable coal for power generation and other industrial and domestic needs for next 30 years.
