Bio-fuel

Bangladesh is a densely populated country. More than 80% of its people live in the rural areas. Fuel demand is increasing with the increase of population. But we have not enough reserve fuel for meeting our future requirement. Any increase in oil price significantly increases production and transportation cost and price hike becomes unavoidable. It is therefore argued that poor countries like Bangladesh should explore alternative renewable energy sources that will reduce their dependency on imported oil. Many supporters of bio-fuel believe that it will be a blessing for tropical developing countries like Bangladesh because of our comparative advantages of sun and excellent energy crops.
Bio-gas, a renewable source of energy, can be used as fuel for cooking, lighting, running vehicles and generators etc.
