Renewable Energy :
Renewable energy is environment-friendly. At present, the different categories of renewable energy that are being used in limited ways in our country are as follows:
• Hydro-electricity
• Solar power generation using solar rays
• Wind-mill power generation using wind power
• Production of bio-gas using waste
• Electricity produced by Biomass Gasification Method using wood, rice husk, etc.
Non-Renewable Energy
The proven reserve of natural gas which is the principal source of non-renewable energy of the country is gradually depleting. The supply of gas as a primary source of energy will be dried out soon if immediate steps are not taken for exploration of new gas fields and extraction . In the use of commercial energy, the notable ones include the following:
• Natural gas
• Oil from minerals and other sources
• Coal and coal like substance
• Compressed natural gas (CNG)
• Natural Gas Liquid (NGL)
Power System Master Plan-2010 (PSMP – 2010) proposes long-term fuel-mix as follows [4000 MWe from NPP by 2030]:
By 2021, the share of nuclear will be 10% of 20,000 MW = 2000 MW (2X1000 MW) from the Rooppur NPP.
PSMP-2010 also proposes addition of another
2000 MW from Rooppur nuclear plant

Mongla Port
• The port provides facilities and services to the international shipping lines and maintaining adequate water depth in the channel as well as making provision for safe day and night shipping.
• Present government has given top priority for developing port facilities up to international standard which is necessary for the implementation of RNPP.
Mongla Port is situated (Lat. 21026.9` N. long. 890 34.4 E) in the Bay of Bengal.
COMMUNICATION: contd.
• The entire coast along the Bay of Bengal is 710 Kilometer long. There are two major ports in the country. Chittagong Port , the oldest port, and the Mongla Port in Khulna region serves the western part of Bangladesh . There are now 11 operational airports in Bangladesh . Of these, the airports at Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet serve international routes.
