Kleenheat Gas is a major stakeholder in a multi-national joint venture LPG project in Bangladesh.
Wesfarmers Kleenheat Elpiji Limited (WKEL) was formed to develop an LPG importation, marketing and distribution business in Bangladesh. The major shareholders are:
- Wesfarmers Energy
- Elpiji (M) Sdn Bhd
An LPG import terminal located at Mongla, in south-west Bangladesh, was commissioned in September 2001. The terminal currently has a capacity of 1,800 MT of commercial grade LPG product and supplies the domestic cylinder market as well as industrial and bulk customers. Kleenheat Gas is pioneering the LPG autogas industry in Bangladesh and is in the process of commissioning a country wide network of Kleenheat AutoGas stations.
LPG provides Bangladesh with a safe and portable alternate energy source. Its clean burning properties help reduce the pollution that results from burning natural resources such as wood and paraffin, which have traditionally been used. Kleenheat AutoGas also provides an economical alternative to octane and diesel in motor vehicles and stationary engines.
