Abstract

Non renewable energy sources in Bangladesh is severely limited. Mainly in the rural areas energy crisis and desertification problem is very acute. Thus, it is essential to find out the renewable energy resources as well as to improve the effective renewable energy technologies. Bangladesh is adorned with huge renewable energy capitals such as solar, hydro, wind, biomass, tidal and geothermal energy due to its appropriate geographical position. Proper harnessing of these renewable energy sources would be a promising solution to alleviate the energy need mainly in the rural areas of Bangladesh. However, there are some political, economical, technological, informational, institutional, personnel barriers for proper utilization of renewable energy resources. It is required to work together of different government and non-government organizations to solve the problems and utilize the renewable energy technologies. Thus, renewable energy technology development related research works are crucial in developing countries like Bangladesh. Moreover, the potentiality of renewable energy capitals and their implementation is needed to be assembled in details to understand the whole scenario of the renewable energy sector of Bangladesh. The objective of this research is to deliver a recent review of renewable energy status in Bangladesh in respect to the energy potentiality and its implementation, research and development activities. Major challenges of the renewable energy sector of Bangladesh are also addressed and based on that some recommendations are provided.
