Environmental accounting and reporting is an emerging concept in Bangladesh, although many countries in the world, either developed or developing, are already practicing environmental accounting and reporting in their fossil-fuel sector. Fossil energy resources in Bangladesh consist primarily of natural gas. This study deals with what types of data are required & how these will be presented in environmental accounting. It attempts to portray progress and drawbacks of Petrobangla Companies in respect of environmental accounting practices & tries to provide suggestions for better reporting practices. As there is a sustainability problem in energy sector, specially fossil-fuel sector of Bangladesh and the situation of pollution of Bangladesh is huge, environmental accounting practice is crying need to solve these types of problem in Bangladesh.
