Renewable Energy, Bangladesh Energy Scenario, Fossil Fuels, Electricity Generation, Sustainable SolutionAbstract
This review examines the potential of renewable energy sources to meet Bangladesh's expanding energy needs and critically examines their role in the country's power industry. The study highlights the critical contributions of solar, wind, hydro, biomass, biogas, geothermal, and nuclear resources, each of which uniquely reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Visual aids, including charts and maps, illustrate the distribution and capacity of renewable energy, highlighting the urgent need for integration to meet future demand. The review also analyses financial requirements, cost-effectiveness, and potential for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Critical barriers to rural electrification include land availability, funding constraints, and weak network infrastructure. The study argues that technological advancements, green finance, and policy reforms are crucial to overcoming these challenges. Proposed solutions include infrastructure modernization, international cooperation, and adopting climate-resilient technologies. Hydropower and solar energy are the most promising energy sources, contributing significantly to the current energy balance. The findings demonstrate a cooperative strategy for utilizing Bangladesh's renewable energy resources for a robust and sustainable energy transition.
