In dieser Angelegenheit

Although Bangladesh’s level of carbon emission remains much lower in comparison to other developed or developing countries, the country had pledged to commit to the global effort to limit the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.

The NDC is coming up for a revisit and it was felt by some that waste management, agriculture and forestry sectors should also be included. It is impossible for the State to ensure environment protection, and the private sector needs to do its part, i.e. the private sector must be involved in the process of updating the NDC. Furnace oil plants need to be phased out as a major source of pollution with no possibility of making them more efficient. Speakers at a recent virtual discussion agreed that the country is on the right track to pursue a low carbon growth strategy, even though there will be a number of new coal-fired power plants. The rationale being that Bangladesh presently emits a very low level of carbon in the atmosphere and the level would remain within permissible limits. Hence, coal plants under various stages of implementation would not tip the emission level beyond the limit, since these plants are using advanced technologies.

Energy & Power Magazine Description:

Energy & Power (EP) is the first and only full-fledged fortnightly magazine that deals with the much cried over energy and power sector in Bangladesh. Since its inception in June 16, 2003, EP is working very hard to 
a) Develop public consciousness on sustainable and even development of energy sector; 
b) Assist the policy makers in assuming pragmatic policies for a balanced development of the energy sector; 
c) Continuous supply of information among public; and 
d) Develop a group of reporters in this field 

Bangladesh is an energy deficit country like other countries in the region and most of the people do not have adequate access to the energy and power. The country is completely dependent on fossil energy source; at the same time, it is one of the most inefficient energy using countries in the world. 
It lacks efficiency in planning, management, generation, distribution, load management and even at the end user level consumption. 
In spite of the above drawbacks, issues relating to utilization of renewable energy, exploring alternative use of energy, planned use of environment friendly energy are significantly undermined in Bangladesh. 
The biggest challenge of Bangladesh is to find a path for balanced growth of its energy sector. Despite its resource constraints, EP dynamically strives to provide theenergy sector with a flow of information and create public awareness; so that policymakers get guidelines and platforms for its sustainable development.
