Abstract

Energy consumption is the indicator of the development of a country. An adequate power supply is a prerequisite of sustainable development, where Bangladesh has been struggling. This study focuses on the technological barriers of renewable energy implementation in Bangladesh, which has salient renewable energy sources: biomass, solar power, solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, wind energy, and hydroelectricity. Despite having rich renewable energy resources, the country still depends on its gas and oil reserve for power generation. The geographic significance of installing new sustainable technologies like wind power and biomass power plants has been studied in this research. Besides, to profile the socio-economic barriers provoking behind the insurance of renewable energy sources for the mass population, a comprehensive survey was conducted with 200 individuals, including 50 experts on renewable energy research. Quantitative analysis of issues like the monthly electricity bill, types of power sources used up, public satisfaction, and consciousness, along with their concepts regarding sustainable technology fabrication to synthesize renewable energy, were conducted. Finally, all qualitative and quantitative outputs were statistically analyzed to figure out the actual status of renewable energy usage in Bangladesh's perspective simultaneously, which is vital for us to ensure new renewable energy sources to achieve environmental sustainability for the future.
