“…Biofuels might be utilized as a substitute for diesel and gasoline, because the fossil fuels have a higher emission rate than biofuel [80][81][82][83][84]. Being a sustainable fuel, it can be employed in SI and CI engines, either in pure form or in the form of mixed blends with other fuels.…”

This study reviewed the aspects of the production of bioethanol from the agricultural residues available in Bangladesh. The crop residues such as rice, wheat, sugarcane, corn, cotton, jute, and sugarcane have great potential for energy generation in a sustainable and eco-friendly way in Bangladesh, as these residues are available in large quantities. Bioethanol is an alternative fuel to gasoline that provides comparable performance results. Bioethanol from these residues can be used for transportation purposes, as it does not require any major modifications to the spark-ignition engine configuration when using E5 blend (5% Ethanol mixed with 95% of the gasoline). In Bangladesh, approximately 65.36 Mt of agricultural residues are available from the major crops, from which 32 Mt bioethanol can be generated. This study is expected to provide useful concise data with regards to the beneficial utilization of agricultural residues for bioethanol production in Bangladesh.

“…The increased relaiablity of production of energy from the renewable resources will imparts positive impacts on the environment by reducing the pollution being caused by the utlisation of fossil fuels [80][81][82][83][84][85]. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) stated that SHS has minimal impact on flora and fauna, has minimal deforestation, and negligible submergence [86].…”

Current environmental catastrophes generating from fossil fuel power generation has attracted the attention of energy planners to look for sustainable energy sources. Hydropower is one of the oldest energy sources that have been utilized all over the world to generate electricity, especially in remote areas. Being one of the most densely populated countries, the majority of power demand is fulfilled from fossil fuel. Despite having lots of rivers, Bangladesh has not explored its true potential. So, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the current hydropower potential in Bangladesh. Locations having hydropower potential is evaluated. Different technologies used for hydropower generation have been reviewed. Moreover, global hydropower potential has also been discussed in this study. Based on the economic and environmental study, it is found that small scale hydropower is most feasible in Bangladesh to provide sustainable energy. With a reasonable flow rate, 232 rivers of Bangladesh can be utilized small scale hydropower generation as well as ensuring energy security for remote people. The current study is believed to provide useful information in advancing the generation of hydropower based electricity in Bangladesh.

“…For a country`s growth, sustainable development has become vital and plays a decisive role. Sustainable development is well-defined as the social development which is required in order to meet the present generations need without putting a risk at the needs of future generations [11][12][13]. Sustainable development demands that an industry, which is mainly based on non-renewable resources needs to be transformed into one based on renewable resources [14].…”

Exergy analysis is an important tool to identify the improvements in various industrial processes. In this study, the existing steam power plant is examined based on energy and exergy analyses. The steam network in the power plant is comprised of two sections, one of them is used for paddy drying, while other portion is used to operate the turbine for in-house electricity production. Mass, energy, and exergy balances are applied to individual equipment of the plant. The power plant is modeled and simulated using Aspen HYSYS® V10. The calculated thermodynamic values are used for in-depth analysis of the power plant. Case-studies are included in this study to show the effect of various operational parameters on the process efficiency. The analysis shows that the boiler is the major source of exergy destruction, because of the incomplete combustion process, and inappropriate insulations. The remedial actions are also suggested in the study.
