Abstract
The main concern of a country is energy in the present world. Developing country like Bangladesh is also facing challenges to meet its energy demand. For energy, Bangladesh mainly depends on Natural gas, Petroleum Oil, LPG, LNG, Coal, NGL etc. It seems that average increase of energy consumption in Bangladesh about 6% per annum. Therefore, this study analyzes current energy scenario and visualization of future energy of Bangladesh in accordance with SDG 2030 and Vision 2041. The research focuses on the following points: i) What is the current consumption of total energy in MTOE and the Per capita consumption of energy in Kgoe (Kilogram Oil Equivalent) and per capita generation of electricity in Bangladesh (kWh). ii) What is the approximate consumption of total energy in MTOE, and what will be Per capita consumption of energy in Kgoe (Kilogram Oil Equivalent) and per capita generation of electricity in Bangladesh (kWh) by 2030. iii) What is the approximate consumption of total energy in MTOE, and what will be Per capita consumption of energy in Kgoe (Kilogram Oil Equivalent) and per capita generation of electricity in Bangladesh (kWh) by 2041.
Highlights
Apart from reducing dependence on natural gas, it needs to be coordinated with the imported LNG and enhance the percentage of usage oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG); thereby Bangladesh will succeed in reaching its desired goal of development
Public and private sector combining do the marketing of 848,441 MT of LPG in 2019-20, which is meeting a certain portion of LPG demand of the country
All the steps have to be taken in view of SDG-2030 and Vision-2041 to reduce natural gas production in a timely manner
Summary
Proper use of energy is essential to meet the country's growing energy demands as well as to lift up from a mid-income country to a developed country. In Bangladesh, about 62 percent of energy demand is met from natural gas [6]. Energy demand is being met through imported oil and LPG. The government has already started importing LNG to meet increasing gas demand. The use of renewable energy instead of gas, coal and oil has been started in the whole world and is essential for sustainable development and keeping up with the environment by preventing carbon emissions. Apart from reducing dependence on natural gas, it needs to be coordinated with the imported LNG and enhance the percentage of usage oil and LPG; thereby Bangladesh will succeed in reaching its desired goal of development.
