“Affordable and Clean Energy”

Affordable and clean energy indicates renewable and green energy sources. Energies that come from these sources are clean and affordable for common people. Renewable energy is Solut energy that is obtained from renewable resources, which are naturally restocked on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. The present renewable energy arrives from biogas, hydro power, solar and wind. Bangladesh is a developing country which offers many options and opportunities for utilizing renewable energy sources for generating electric power. In Bangladesh there are many natural resources such as coal, gas and petroleum. The main source of energy in Bangladesh is natural gas (24%).

Renewable Energy Sources in Bangladesh: The prospect of renewable energy in Bangladesh is very promising, especially in the case of solar energy. However, for the near future, renewable energy will remain annexed to the current energy genesis by non-renewable conventional means. Still, renewable energy will play an important role reaching consumers outside the national grid or in places where grid connection is delayed. Major sources of renewable energy in Bangladesh are as follows:

01. Solar  02. Wind power; 03. Biomass energy: 04. Biogass Energy; 05. Hydro-power; 06. Geothermal energy; 07. Tidal power, 08. Ocean wave energy:

There is a great opportunity for Bangladesh to meet its overall power demand by utilizing its available renewable properly. If it can make the best use of its available renewable energy sources then it is possible to extract the load shedding problem from the country. As a result, this is the high s time to look forward and work with these renewable energy fields to produce electricity rather than depending wholly on conventional method. The government has already made an endeavor to overcome the power crisis problem in Bangladesh. More importance should be given on renewable such as solar energy as it is the emerging renewable energy sector in Bangladesh which has potential to meet the majority of the energy and power demand of country's population. Other renewable energy sources can also play a vital role to meet our daily power demand. With the help of these resources, Bangladesh can generate electricity and may able to meet the expected power demand in the future. The government and the private sector should work hand in hand to emphasize more on renewable energy sources to produce electricity to solve the power crisis problem in Bangladesh.
