Energy experts in a workshop on Tuesday said that 100 per cent renewable energy is a must to make successful the present government’s initiatives to upgrade the country’s status as ‘developed country’ by 2041.
The Coastal Development Partnership (CDP) organized the workshop in the city where the experts also said it would be possible to achieve the goal of 100 per cent renewable energy within 2050, if there is a specific long-term plan -programme.
The CDP with the support of Bread for the World has been implementing the project “Strengthening People’s Action on Climate Risk Reduction & Energy Efficiency (SPACE)” since June 2017, organisers said.
Chairman of Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA) Md Helal Uddin was present at workshop as Chief Gust while additional secretary of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry Rahmat Ullah Mohammad Dastagir as special guest.
In the key-note paper presented by CDP Executive Director Zahangir Hasan Masum, it was told that the quantity of fuel is too little in comparison to the huge number of population. “So there is no alternative but to use of renewable energy in Bangladesh,” he said.
The participants in the workshop put emphasis that the world will have to depend on 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050.
To develop a coherent strategy on how to implement 100 per cent renewable energy as part of the country’s Sustainable Low Carbon Development (LCD) Initiatives and Poverty Reduction Goals, the project undertook a study titled 100 per cent “Renewable Energy Pathway” for Bangladesh in partnership with University of Technology, Sydney.
The study will analyze the potential of different renewable technologies, including Solar PV, CSP, On- and Off-shore wind, small and middle scale hydro and Bio Energy.
