Sustainable energy transition in Bangladesh: Challenges and pathways for the future

Abstract The industrial development of a country plays vital role in its overall progress and is closely tied to capacity electricity generation. However, the scarcity natural resources increasing costs fuel global markets pose significant challenges for developing countries like Bangladesh managing rising expenses Consequently, government exploring alternative energy such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity, biomass, biogas supplement fossil fuels optimize generation cost. This paper aims provide comprehensive overview current status resources, including gas, coal, oil, which are conventionally used Bangladesh. It highlights concerns about dwindling resource availability their impact on country's landscape. Through numerical analysis, it demonstrates detrimental effects relying heavily gas‐based power plants, leading supply instability. To address ongoing crisis, proposes adoption renewable sources viable solution. Additionally, also acknowledges associated with implementing large‐scale projects distinct areas country, limited infrastructure, technical constraints, need investment. Overcoming these barriers crucial achieving widespread utilization resources. concludes by offering recommendations overcome maximize contributions meeting future demands. suggestions include robust policy reforms attract investment, emphasizing research development, promoting community engagement initiatives. potential shaping more secure sustainable Bangladesh, importance socio‐economic development.
