A Review on Solar and Biomass Energy for Overcoming the Energy Scarcity of Bangladesh and its Prospects

The global desideratum of electricity has been uprising rapidly with time in developing countries like Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, as the percentage of renewable energy usage is only 3 % of the total energy ratio, the Ministry of Bangladesh has already undertaken a Master plan for an escalation in this sector. Solar Power is the leading renewable source of electricity in Bangladesh, with a potential of 22,787 MW. Besides, Biomass is also one of the prominent sources because of its rural nature. In this paper, we have canvassed these two dominant renewable energy sources of Bangladesh, having the vast potentiality to lead the country's energy sector. The present scenario of these sources in our country with the resumed potential is portrayed in both cases. This paper will be deducing the available latent scopes of Solar and Biomass, including the current status of the sources and the proposed undertaking plans to enroot an accelerated advancement in this sector.
