<description><![CDATA[ We have spent five years thrashing around for a Coal Policy, so now let's spend the next half decade working on an Energy Policy. There is nothing but talk in Bangladesh, oh yes, and committees! Meanwhile the coal sleeps just a few metres below the surface at Phulbari.... By Phulbari ]]></description>

<title> PDB team to inspect coal-based</title>
<description><![CDATA[  PDB team to inspect coal-based <br>
power plants in India, China <br>
 <br>
<br>
<A HREF="http://www.newagebd.com/2009/nov/07/nat.html" onclick="return redirectcheck('http://www.newagebd.com/2009/nov/07/nat.html<br>')" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.newagebd.com/2009/nov/07/nat.html<br></A>
<br>
The Power Development Board will send a team of experts to India and China in a month for inspection of large coal-based power plants as the board wants to replicate the expertise of the two countries in installing four similar plants here.<br>
   The PDB team, led by its chief engineer is likely to visit two under-construction coal-based power plants in Hyderabad and Jharkhand in India between November 17 and 22 and some plants in China in the first week of December, said officials of the board.<br>
   &#145;The team will visit some existing coal-based power plants and some under- construction ones to get firsthand experience of how India and China were setting up such large power plants, especially with imported coal,&#146; said a high official of the board.<br>
   PDB chairman Alamgir Kabir told New Age on Friday that the team would mainly try to learn how India and China were using the latest technology called &#147;super critical pressure technology&#148; in operating environment-friendly and efficient coal-based power plants.<br>
   &#145;India&#146;s Tata is constructing a large coal-based power plant in Jharkhand and Reliance Group is building another plant in Hyderabad. One of the plants is based on imported coal. The team will inspect how India handles huge volumes of imported coal,&#146; he said.<br>
   The government has planned to install four coal-based power plants, each with 500 megawatts capacity, at Chittagong, Mongla, Meghnaghat and Jajira, near the site of the proposed Padma Bridge. The plants would be based primarily on imported coal.<br>
   PDB officials, however, do not know yet how they would handle around 4.5 million tonnes of coal to be imported a year to run the power plants.<br>
   Bangladesh has one 250MW coal-based power plant near the entrance to the mine of the Barapukuria coalfield in Dinajpur.<br>
   &#145;At present there is no infrastructure to unload imported coal at Chittagong and Mongla ports. Necessary infrastructure would be needed to carry the coal and store it for power plants. We will inspect how India manages it,&#146; said another official.<br>
   Besides, PDB will carry out a detailed feasibility study and environmental impact assessment before installation of the plants.<br>
   &#145;The board will appoint an international consultant for making the assessment,&#146; said the official.<br>
   As projected by the PDB, around $3 billion will be required for setting up the plants and the fund is expected to be raised through public-private partnership. By searcher3 ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Zico you muppet - can't you read ?? check a comment from a post i made sometime in October <br>
<br>
'Now the million dollar question is do I buy back into gcm at this point? NO - I will wait until it tests the 70's again - and Peasano i note coal of africa is doing well which will bump up the value of GCM however I still think we will see 70p range in the next couple of months.'<br>
<br>
Now tell me this you fool - did GCM not test the low 70's recently ? or has your head been so far stuck up your rectum you failed to notice.<br>
<br>
Also try and go through my posts and tell me where I have been wrong.<br>
<br>
Try harder next time torbiller.<br>

<title>Experts project new deposit of coal, suggest exploration</title>
<description><![CDATA[ More in the press about :-<br>
<br>
Experts project new deposit of coal, suggest exploration<br>
<br>
CHITTAGONG, Nov 6 (BSS): Experts have primarily projected a possible deposit of coal in the hilly areas of Patiya and Chandanaish suggesting immediate exploration of the resources.<br>
<br>
The experts of Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX) told the news agency that there was every possibility that there was existence of coal along the five kilometres hilly stretch in the eastern side of Patiya and Chandanaish. <br>
<br>
The sources said coal, which was in the form of rocky soil structure, had been detected in the early seventies in these hilly areas. It had turned into coal during the last four decades. <br>
<br>
Manager (Geology) of BAPEX Alamgir Hossain told the agency that there was no doubt about the existence of coal in those hilly areas of the district. <br>
<br>
But the total quantity as well as quality of coal could not be ascertained without proper exploration, he added. <br>
<br>
BAPEX would seek permission from Petrobangla for conducting laboratory experiments about the coal deposits in the hilly areas to become fully assured in this regard. <br>
<br>
Mohammad Ali, chairman of Hashimpur Union Parishad under Chandanish, said a survey was carried out in the area by the initiative of the Ministry of Mineral Resources in 1972-73, just after the War of Liberation. <br>
<br>
Professor Abdul Haque of the Department of Geography and Environment of Chittagong University said proper initiative should be taken for extracting the coal after conducting a fresh survey in the area with a view to easing the existing fuel crisis in the country.<br>

<title>Re: Question Please</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Searcher3 - It is possible that it's poor reporting again (or coincidence) and that it isn't one single power plant as implied in the article.  Had a brief look and found an older article mentioning 820 MW capacity being proposed from effectively 10 smaller plants within public sector: <A HREF="http://www.energybangla.com/index.php?mod=article&amp;cat=PowerSector&amp;article=2123" onclick="return redirectcheck('http://www.energybangla.com/index.php?mod=article&amp;cat=PowerSector&amp;article=2123<br>')" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.energybangla.com/index.php?mod=article&amp;cat=PowerSector&amp;article=2123<br></A>
<br>
Given 50% of coal resource is split between Pb and Barakupuria mines which sit side by side in Dinjapur it's a fair assumption a significant power production facility will be located there.  GCM's inlimbo plans included an onsite PP facility - and suspect no updates will be given until announcement on Phulbari in any event. By Paesano ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Where's easy and why are you going? I think you mean &quot;too&quot;.<br>
Gloating again about calling this correctly when you haven't.<br>
Your ambitious entry level of 70p did not materialise and you did not predict this spike or else you would not be currently sitting on the sidelines waiting for 70p. <br>
There have, on the other hand, been many people trying to tell you that trading in and out here can be profitable. Many also stressing that keeping a core holding is wise as the GoB may surprise us at any time, even Phulbari realises the benefits of this despite having an opinion that nothing will happen for a long time.

<description><![CDATA[ Nice spike.<br>
What caused it this time?<br>
Sold half of my shares when the AT stoploss triggered at 91p weeks back, and at least I didn`t have to observe that 74p on my screen: ))<br>
So is it time to get back in - full throttle? Or is the rise because they`d like something nice to talk about at the upcoming AGM...?<br>
