It is impossible to detect the leak because of the lack of odour. This has led different countries to enact new regulations that require gas suppliers to odourise LPG.

THE APPRAISAL OF LEGAL FRAMEWORK REGULATING GAS FLARING IN NIGERIA’S UPSTREAM...IAEME Publication
Nigeria is ranked one of the main producers of crude oil in Africa and due to this, oil exploration activities have occasioned high rate of gas flaring which was intensified by poor enforcement of anti-gas flaring laws by the regulatory authorities. Associated natural gas is generated from oil production and it is flared in large volumes, thereby leading to the emission of greenhouse gases and a waste of natural resources which could have potentially spawned billions of dollars for the Federal government.

ABSTRACT: The Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report 2023 highlights Nigeria'sstrides in decreasing gas
flaring, yet recent data reveals a continuous rise in the country's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This raises
uncertainty about whether the reported reduction in gas flaring can effectively lower Nigeria's GHG emission
targets.Therefore, this article scrutinizes the Nigerian government's initiatives to curb gas flaring nationwide and
delves into the ramifications of this reduction on the country's overall GHG emissions. The findings of this
study reveal that despite the decline in gas flaring, it has not significantly curbed GHG emissions in Nigeria.
Consequently, the article concludes that solely reducing gas flaring may not sufficiently mitigate climate-related
adverse effects nor substantially decrease overall GHG emissions, as gas flaring represents only a fraction of the
country's GHG emissions.

Bangladesh’s cross border transaction in Chinese RMB.pdfM S Siddiqui
Banks are finally allowed to maintain accounts in Chinese currency RMB with their correspondents or overseas branches for cross-border transactions executed in Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, China has introduced cross-border interbank payments system (CIPS) with the RMB as an alternative trading currency. CIPS payment system offers clearing and settlement services for participates in cross-border RMB payment and trade.
Over the last decade the Chinese government has consistently strived to overcome China’s dependence on foreign supplies in the sector, and as a result China’s market share in semiconductors has increased from 5 percent in 2010 to 13 percent in 2020, more than doubling in ten years. China is moving along with the planned schedule to achieve supremacy in manufacturing semi-conductors.
Evaluation of Bangladesh’s Data Protection Bill.pdfM S Siddiqui

The problem is that the government has expressed a controlling attitude to make the law a control mechanism rather than data security and data privacy.

The BB should revisit the circular addressing the embargo over transfer of full set of documents.

The Clean Feed Strategy would give a level playing field to Bangladeshi manufacturers and foreign manufactures. Although late the government has taken a bold decision.
Pandemic recession and employment crisisM S Siddiqui
The policy of Bangladesh Bank and attitude of commercial banks have many challenges to overcome regarding these programmes. They require a change in mind-set and political will to recognize the crisis and probable solution. There should a recognition that informal workers and their livelihood activities represent the broad base of the economy producing essential goods and services not only for low-income customers but also for the general public and for the formal economy.
How to upgrade bangladesh’s banking almanacM S Siddiqui
The confidence of users is a big challenge for an almanac. The authentication of information is a basic criterion of a good almanac. The authority may take initiative to upload the almanac in their web-site and make easily accessible for the end users specially the FI in other countries.
The experience of the other countries doesn’t support the fear of NBR officials. This conception of officials is a challenge of introduction of PCA in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh needs rules on odourised LPG
M S Siddiqui
Tue Oct 5, 2021 12:00 AM
The explosion at Moghbazar at a mosque in Narayanganj and numerous
incidents of fire and explosions at home and other establishments have
given rise to concerns about the use of different gases. Usually, other
countries have regulation on the use of odorants to identify leakage in
pipelines or cylinders. Bangladesh has no such rule on odourisation of
gases.
In Bangladesh, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was introduced as a
cooking fuel in September 1978 with the production of about 16,000 tons
of the gas by Eastern Refinery Ltd. (ERL). ERL transferred it to LP Gas
Limited for bottling and it was then passed to the three state-owned oil
marketing companies for distribution. Later, the government adopted the
National Energy Policy 1996 allowing private sector to import, store,
bottle, and distribute Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Currently, there are
around 25 companies in the private sector with a total capacity of
supplying two million tons of LPG against a local demand of around one
million ton per annum. Government also decided to promote the use of
LNG as Autogas. The policy facilitates the setting up of Autogas
2. Refueling Station, Conversion Workshop Setting up and Operation
adopted in 2016 by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division of the
Ministry of Energy and Power.
Consumption of LPG has been increased from 50,000 tons in 2008, the
quantity of LPG consumed in the country was 1.02 million tons in 2020,
and is expected to rise to 2 million tons in 2030. Till now, 85 percent of
LPG is consumed for domestic use; total number of households using
LPG is about 3.8 million. However, per capita consumption of LPG is the
lowest among the countries in Asia-pacific region.
LPG forms a flammable mixture with air in concentrations of 2% to 10%.
It can, therefore, be a fire and explosion hazard if stored or used
incorrectly. LPG is by itself odourless and explosive, which is a fatal
combination. It may leak and accumulate in any household, office or
factory and get ignited when someone enters the area and flips on a light
switch. It is impossible to detect the leak because of the lack of odour.
This has led different countries to enact new regulations that require gas
suppliers to odourise LPG. Those laws direct that any leaks should
readily be detectable when the concentration of gas reaches 1/5 of the
lower explosive limit. Moreover, the leaks must be detectable by anyone
with a normal sense of smell. The odorant is typically a blend of various
organosulfur or non-sulfur compounds. Over many years, a class of
organosulfur compounds known as mercaptans, and some non-sulfur
compounds became the standard chemicals to odourise gases.
In many countries, LPG is also distributed through gas pipe for domestic,
commercial, and industrial consumption, just as Titas gas distribution
system in Bangladesh. The important points to consider are which
pipelines require odourisation, the detectable limits of gas odour,
odourants, and odourising considerations, and monitoring a pipeline
system to ensure that the odourisation programme is meeting the
regulatory requirements.
Bangladesh may include a provision of odourisation of LPG through
amendment of the relevant laws and make it mandatory to establish
odour injection system as early as possible to ensure that it has a
distinctive odour. Thus, the gas-related accidents may be prevented.
