Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is an emerging country, it has great prospects to development towards increasing the demand for energy. Nowadays, Bangladesh is facing an energy crisis. In Bangladesh, around 70% of people lack access to electricity and most of them live in the village. Among them, about 40% of them are living in below the poverty line. On the other hand climate change puts additional threats to development. Like the rest of the countries of the world, the demand for power is increasing day by day in our country. At present, power failure has become a severe problem for this country. It has become hard to solve the power crisis. There are several reasons behind this problem such as limitation of resources, low generation capacity, high demand, de-rated capacity of power station machinery, poor management, poor distribution line etc. To become a developed country, Bangladesh needs to overcome the problem of power crisis soon. To fight these situations, Renewable energy can be a great source to solve the power crisis problem to a great extent. Here we have discussed different forms of renewable energy that we can use to meet the increasing power demand of Bangladesh. We have mainly discussed renewable energy sources that can be used in solving the power crisis and sustainable development of Bangladesh such as Solar energy, Bioenergy, Geothermal, Wind energy, Hydro, Ocean wave energy, and Tidal energy. This paper explores the prospect, trend, utilization, and its technology as well as reviews the policy institutions and opportunities of renewable energy technology on the way to sustainable development in Bangladesh.
