Description

Free to read on publisher website Being a developing country, Bangladesh has to meet the huge energy demand for her massive population giving only 63% of total population the access to electricity. Due to her limited non-renewable energy resources like coal, oil, and others, she need to face the challenge looking forward to the scope for the renewable energy resources where Geothermal energy can be a good choice. According to the geographical position of Bangladesh, the north-western part has some potential sites for installation of geothermal power plants. Most of the analysis shows that the large geothermal gradient makes the regions like Barakupuria of Dinajpur district and Thakurgaon of Rangpur division the most favorable place for extracting geothermal power. The Singra sub district of Bogra region is also favorable and the other parts are scattered in different parts of Bangladesh like Shitakund, Sylhet, Mymensingh, Panba, and Faridpur. Herewith, it is suggested in this paper that to meet the huge energy demand predicted by BPDB, it is high time for Bangladesh to look forward to install geothermal power plants to meet the huge energy demand for the upcoming days.
