Hydrogen: as an alternative energy source and its potentiality for Bangladesh

Abstract

This thesis paper is not only delineate about the hydrogen as a sustainable versatile alternative future energy as well as its potentiality in Bangladesh to fulfill the energy demand in future and to mitigate the carbon emission. The Hydrogen, has the key prospective to become the ideal means among the range of renewable energy arena. Molecular of hydrogen has the highest energy content per unit weight among the known gaseous fuel (143 GJ ton-1) and it is the only carbon free fuel which ultimately oxidize to water as a combustion product. Therefore burning hydrogen not only has the potential to meet a wide variety of end use applications but does not contribute to greenhouse emission, acid rain or ozone depletion as well. The use of hydrogen will contribute to significant reduction of these energy-linked environmental impacts thus it could be fruitful for increasing the acceptance of hydrogen as fuel. In 2011, Bangladesh was consume 1.09 quadrillion Btu energy as the reference of International Energy Statistics, February-2015. The energy we uses, 93.75% are from the fossil fuel, and 1.73% from hydro energy and rest of are imported. In average 58.81 million metric ton CO2 are emitted from the fossil fuel that we are uses per year in our country. In this scenario using the Hydrogen as an alternative energy source can play a key role to reduce the usages of fossil fuel and obviously to mitigate the carbon emission. The production, storage, utilization, percussion, environmental impact etc. are discussed in the point of view of Hydrogen an alternative energy source as well as its potentiality and prospective view of Bangladesh are also illustrate in this paper. We could certainly beseechers Hydrogen is the best choice of alternative energy and has fruitful potentiality in Bangladesh as I have seen in my research.
