Fuel Overview

Brinland relies almost entirely on Northland for the provision of fuel (both countries have signed a commercial agreement giving the exclusivity to Northland for providing oil through subterranean pipe).

Brinland Oil Corporation (BOC) is the sole importer of fuels in Brinland. It is a government owned agency for all Brinland and was established on 1970. It imports, stores and distributes all kinds of fuel in Brinland.

The Democratic Republic of Brinland owns 90.15% of BOC with the balance shared by four other state-owned enterprises, those being Cobalt Supplies, National Trading Ltd., Brinland Bank Ltd. and Emerald Bank. BOC has 4 regional offices with fuel depots in Brinland: Brindisi, Dakaro, Allon, and Bekario. The total storage capacity throughout Brinland is 65,500 kilolitres (2014)

BOC then distributes its petroleum products to various government or privately owned companies to be distributed to consumers. 

Approximately, 60% of its fuel storage is consumed by the eastern region of Brinland.

 

Fuel Pricing

Fuel Prices as of: Feb 2016  (US $)
Petrol (per litre)	US $0.84 / liter
Fuel (per litre)	US $0.71 / liter
Diesel (per litre)	N/A
Paraffin (per litre)	N/A
Jet A1 (per litre)	N/A

Fuel prices in Brinland are determined primarily on the purchase price of fuel from the Northland Oil Corporation and are set by the Board of Directors of BOC.

The Government of Brinland does not provide any price subsidies for fuel. The price of fuel includes a 13 percent VAT as of July 2016.

Seasonal Variations 

Because of payment delays and because of its geographical structure, Brinland has fuel shortages very often.

Mostly, landslides and floods every winter season block the main supply roads that reach many depots or distributors.

Seasonal Variations
Are there national priorities in the availability of fuel, e.g. are there restrictions or priorities for the provision of fuel such as to the military? (Yes / No)	Yes
Is there a rationing system? (Yes / No)	Yes
Is fuel to lower income/vulnerable groups subsidized? (Yes / No)	No
Can the local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs? (Yes / No)	N/A
Is it possible for a humanitarian organization to contract directly a reputable supplier/distributor to provide its fuel needs? (Yes / No)	Yes

Fuel Transportation

Fuel products are supplied to BOC-approved distributors upon request.

All aviation fuel (Jet A-1) is distributed and sold directly by BOC in order to adhere to stringent quality control measures. BOC uses over 700 tanker trucks to transport and distribute their products. 

The Brinland Oil Corporation (BOC) imports all of its fuel requirements from the Northland Oil Corporation (NOC) through a long-term agreement. It is reported that NOC has approximately 55% of the Northland fuel market share and owns 6 of Norhtland’s 11 refineries. Fuel is mainly transported into Brinland by subterranean "Monopoly" to Carreti. There are plans to construct a second pipeline from Monopoly, Northland to the BOC depot of Brindisi but no start date has been set.

The transportation infrastructure and fleet are sufficient to handle current domestic needs as well as increased demand from the humanitarian community.

Standards, Quality and Testing

BOC has a Quality and Pollution Control Department equipped with facilities for testing the quality standards of its petroleum products.

Laboratory testing is regularly carried out and quality norms are strictly enforced. All incoming products as well as delivered fuel to the distributors are fully tested. As an example, two samples of each delivery transported to distributors are taken. One is kept with the distributor and the second is held by BOC Quality Control. Spot surprise checks are made on the distributor to ensure there is no alteration of product. Brindisi has a significant level of air pollution, mainly caused by old diesel enging vehicles.

To safeguard the health of the population, especially that of children, BOC has already made arrangements to supply unleaded petrol in Brinland.

Note: Brinland applies high protectionist standards towards local production and industry.

Import is generally strongly regulated and large list of items is either prohibited, restricted or subject to taxes.

 

Main Food Suppliers

Brinland is not a food insecure country. The latest crops were quite satisfactory compared to the past three years. However, given the deteriorating situation of the local economy, most of the crops have been exported abroad (60% to Northland, 30% to Southland and 10% elsewhere), immediately generating the needed cash revenue for the population. However, for the past three months food is being re-imported due to the lack of rice and pulses in the country.

Brinland has the infrastructure in place to import the required food, mostly from Northland. However, the economic constraints prevent Brinland from re-importing the total required quantities of food. The Government does not hold any emergency food stocks/reserves. Average food consumption is 150 kg per person per year of cereal and pulses in total. Per capita availability however, fell recently down to 140 kg. Brinland’s Government does not allow import of GMO commodities in the country.

Types of food generally consumed
Staple	Home made bread, rice, pulses, vegetables and fruits
Protein	Meat and poultry products

Additional Suppliers

Emergency and relief item availability in Brinland includes:

Shelter

Mats, kitchen utensils and hand tools are locally manufactured. Blankets are easily available either through local production or through local and regional traders.

Water & Sanitation

 Soap and basic hygienic supplies as well as buckets are available locally.

Medicines

Other

Most of the manufactured equipment / items can be made available through local traders (Vehicles, jerrycans, etc.).

Overview

Waste collection

In Brinland, like in the majority of countries worldwide, waste management services are the responsibility of the local government. In Brinland, the government bans any form of waste dumping outside official landfills to protect their lands and environment. However, Municipalities have very limited budget to provide waste collection and disposal services. Only in the urban areas of Brindisi, Bekario, Allon Careti, Dakaro, municipalities provide waste collection, transportation and disposal services from households and commercial areas to landfill facilities. In rural areas instead, such services do not exist. However, as per government reports, the composition of waste in rural areas is mostly organic (80%) and organic waste is used for animal feeding and crops fertilizers by the community. Being other remaining waste types dumped in community designated areas and burned from time to time.

 

Waste recycling

The government of Brinland has recently released a 3Rs policy to reduce, reuse and recycle waste materials. The local government have not yet started the collection of recyclable material but this is commonly performed by the private sector. Recycling companies are able to recover 50% of the total waste generated in the country by recycling materials such as plastics, cardboards, metals, glass, etc. to manufacture new products. The private sector has their main recycling hub in Brindisi, but some other recycling companies can be also located in San Vito, Bekario and Punta Della Contessa. => See details of these companies in template 3.7 Brinland_Waste Management multiple company LCA

 

Waste disposal

There are 5 main landfills in Brinland, one in each capital province: Brindisi, Bekario, Allon Careti, Dakaro. Municipalities run these facilities where all forms of non-hazardous waste are disposed. The private sector can also dispose of their waste in these facilities but they do have to arrange their own transportation system.

Landfills lack any type of environmental protective measure to prevent waste polluting groundwater and soils. The Government is planning to upgrade the overall waste management system in country including improved sanitary landfills with the support of the Asian Development Bank, but this initiative is not yet being implemented.

 

Hazardous waste disposal

As per government local regulations hazardous waste such as fleet waste (used engine oil, lubricants, filters, tires), medical waste, electric and electronic devices, batteries, chemicals, etc. cannot be directly disposed of in country landfill facilities without being treated first by specialized companies. Hazardous waste collection and treatment services must be arranged directly with the respective companies operating in the country => See details of these companies in template 3.7 Brinland_Waste Management multiple company LCA
