Biogas has been highlighted as an alternative source to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Experts and stakeholders in the country's energy sector believe that expanding biogas production and use could resolve a significant portion of the energy crisis.

Potential of Biogas

Bangladesh has vast potential to produce biogas from agricultural, livestock, and municipal waste. This technology can help meet energy demand in rural areas while also contributing to fertilizer production. Experts say increased government subsidies and incentives for biogas plants would boost private sector participation.

Demand for Climate Justice

Environmental activists and civil society representatives have urged developed nations to provide grants and stop using fossil fuels to combat the adverse effects of climate change. They argue that funding for adaptation and mitigation activities in climate-vulnerable countries is crucial. If developed countries provide climate funds as promised, developing nations could accelerate their transition to renewable energy.

Need for Sustainable Energy Policy

Analysts believe biogas should be prioritized in the national energy policy. Emphasis should be placed on technology transfer, capacity building, and attracting investment. They also stressed the importance of raising public awareness about using biogas as an alternative to fossil fuels.
