Introduction to Promotion of Renewable Energy
The consciousness about energy and environment has been growing throughout the world
to develop new technologies for judicious use of energy. With rapid growth in energy
demand, Renewable Energy (RE) is increasingly being viewed as a strong contributor
to energy solution. The Government of Bangladesh has already taken initiatives to
promote renewable energy for domestic purposes through photovoltaic (PV) cell and
biogas. Different NGOs and many researchers are also working now on dissemination
of PV module, wind energy, hydro-power etc. within the country.
Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, geo-thermal,
ocean thermal, waves and tides. The use of renewable energy is becoming more and
more important throughout the world because the major advantage of renewable energy
is that it will never run out. Moreover, it produces very less environment polluting
elements.
The seminar will provide a forum for presenting the current research and dissemination
activities in the promotion of renewable energy. This will also promote the exchange
of ideas and experiences amongst researchers, professionals and practitioners from
home and abroad.
