Dhaka: Former US ambassador to Bangladesh Peter D Haas has undertaken the role of strategic advisor at Excelerate Energy — which runs a floating regasification unit which processes around 50 percent of liquified natural gas (LNG) imported by Bangladesh.
Haas retired from the US Foreign Service on September 27 after 33 years in Asia, Europe and North Africa, most recently as ambassador to Bangladesh, according to a press release issued by Excelerate Energy.
The press release said Haas will join the Excelerate’s Washington DC office this month.
“I am pleased to have Peter Haas join the Excelerate team. Over the course of his State Department career, he has been a tireless advocate for US businesses and commercial interests,” said Steven Kobos, president and CEO of Excelerate.
Currently two floating storage and regasification units are processing LNG imported by Bangladesh. The one owned by Excelerate supplies around 600 million cubic feet of gas per day.
