Abstract
At present, renewable energy resources are very important for sustainable development as an alternative way of fossil fuel for energy crisis. The aim of this research is to investigate the poten-tials of renewable energy resources. The research also tried to find out the way to support and improve the growth of renewable energy resources in Bangladesh. About 70% of the people of Bangladesh live in rural areas and renewable energy is considered right choice for their power supply. Bangladesh produces electricity is mainly from natural gas and coal. Some electricity is imported from near neighboring countries. However, the total power generation capacity of Bangladesh (captive power and renewable energy) has increased 17,340 MW with only 3.02% share renewable energy which can’t fulfill country’s whole demand. Bangladesh government has planned to produce 10% of total electricity from renewable energy resources within 2021. Cli-mate change caused by carbon emissions and environmental pollution has attracted worldwide attention and as forced the government to formulate new policy. So, fossil fuel is not only main concern of Bangladesh, also along with will adapt and switch to the use of renewable energy re-sources. This problem can be reduced by organizing renewable energy resources (e.g. solar, wind, hydro, biomass, biogas etc.) and contributing to the country’s energy crisis. Renewable en-ergy is considered as clean energy and can serve the electricity demand in the rural areas where grid connection is not possible.
Keywords: Renewable energy resources, Solar, Wind, Biomass, Hydro, Energy crisis, Develop-ment.
