4. What is Energy?
• Energy is the ability to do work.
• Present in everything from light and motion to
electricity and heat.
AI
5. Energy Conversion
• Energy can be converted from
one form to another.
Examples:
Electrical Mechanical (Fan)
➝
Solar Electrical (Solar Panel)
➝
7. Forms of Energy
• Thermal (Heat)
• Mechanical (Motion)
• Electrical
• Chemical
• Light (Radiant)
8. Renewable Energy Resources
• SOLAR
The amount of sunlight that strikes the Earth's surface in just one hour and a half is
enough to meet the entire world's energy consumption for a full year.
• Mechanism:
1. Photovoltaic (PV) Cells
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon, which
absorb sunlight. When sunlight strikes the PV cells, the energy from the photons (light
particles) excites electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to break free.
These free electrons create an electric current when captured by an electrical circuit,
generating electricity. This is known as the photovoltaic effect.
9. 2. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems use mirrors or
lenses to focus sunlight onto a small area, concentrating
the sunlight to generate heat. This concentrated heat
isthen used to produce steam, which drives a turbine
connected to a generator, producing electricity.
3. Solar Thermal Energy (Solar Water Heating)
Solar thermal energy systems use sunlight to directly heat
a fluid, such as water, for residential or industrial heating.
Solar collectors (flat-plate) absorb sunlight and transfer
the heat to a fluid (usually water) that circulates through
pipes. This heated fluid can then be used for heating
spaces or water.
10. • Solar Power/Energy Situation in Bangladesh
1. Current Contribution of Solar Power:
• Renewable energy production in Bangladesh is extremely low, at 1% of total generation.
• Solar energy constitutes 69.99% of the renewable energy mix in
• Bangladesh, with a total installed capacity of 545.8 MW (347.52 MW off-grid and 198.28 MW
on-grid).
2. Existing Solar Projects Available:
• Solar Home Systems (SHS), solar rooftop projects, solar mini-grids, solar irrigation, and small-
scale solar farms.
• SHS is the largest renewable energy initiative, benefiting ruralelectrification.

12. • WIND
Wind energy harnesses the kinetic energy of moving air (wind) and converts it into electricity using wind
turbines. It is a renewable, green, and sustainable energy source driven by the sun's uneven heating of the
Earth's surface, the planet's rotation, and topographical variations.
• Basic of Wind Energy Production
1. Harnessing Wind Energy: Wind turbines capture the energy of moving air (wind) togenerate electricity.
2. How Turbines Work: Blades and Lift: Blades spin due to the aerodynamic force created by wind
passingover them, producing lift stronger than drag.
Rotor and Generator: The spinning blades (rotor) are connected to a generator via ashaft. This motion
generates electricity.
3. Energy Conversion:
Gearbox or Direct-Drive: A gearbox increases rotation speed for the generator, or direct-drive systems
connect the rotor directly to the generator.
Generator: Uses the spinning motion to produce electricity through magnetic fields.
4. Distribution: Electricity from turbines flows to a substation, where transformers adjust voltage for safe
transmission to homes and businesses via the grid.
5. Optimal Placement: Wind farms are located in areas with strong, consistent winds, considering terrain,
wind direction, and accessibility.

14. • Hydropower
Bangladesh has modest hydroelectric potential due to its flat topography, with limited
hilly regions suitable for large-scale hydro power.
Major Hydroelectric Plant:
The Kaptai Hydroelectric Power Station (230 MW), located in Rangamati, is the only major
hydro plant in the country, operated by the Bangladesh Power Development Board
(BPDB).
Capacity & Contribution:
Hydropower contributes around 1.2% of total electricity generation in Bangladesh.
Source: Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA)
15. • Biomass
It is a key renewable energy source in Bangladesh, especially in rural areas,
providing fuel for cooking and heating.
• Sources of Biomass:
Agricultural residues (rice husk, jute sticks, sugarcane bagasse)
Animal dung
Municipal solid waste
Wood fuel and forestry waste
• Current Usage:
Around 60% of rural households use biomass for cooking.
Used in biogas plants and improved cookstoves to reduce indoor pollution.
• Biogas Production:
Over 100,000 biogas plants installed by programs like IDCOL and other
NGOs.
Used for cooking, lighting, and small-scale electricity generation.
Source: Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA)
16. • Geothermal Energy
Heat energy derived from beneath the Earth's surface.
Utilized via hot springs, steam wells, and geothermal
reservoirs.
• How It Works:
Wells are drilled into geothermal reservoirs to bring hot
water/steam to the surface.
This drives turbines that generate electricity.
• Global Production:
Countries like Iceland, the USA, Philippines, and
Indonesia are leading producers.
Total global geothermal capacity is over 16 GW (as of
2024).

18. Non-Renewable Energy Resources
A non-renewable resource is a natural
resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown
at a scale comparable to its consumption.
20. Coal, oil and natural gas are fossil
fuels. They are carbon-based
materials that formed over millions of
years from the remains of ancient
plants and animals.
Fossil fuels are so useful because they
contain stored chemical energy,
which is converted into large
amounts of useful heat energy when
the fuels are burned.
What are fossil fuels?
21. COAL
• Mainly made of carbon, but also contains sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen.
• Created by the accumulation of plant matter over thousands of years.
• Primarily used as fuel to generate electric power.
22. OIL AND NATURAL GAS
• Oil and natural gas are both fossil fuels, Oil is a liquid fossil fuel, while natural gas is
primarily composed of methane, a gaseous hydrocarbon.
• As the name suggests these are large molecules made up of hydrogen atoms
attached to a backbone of carbon.
• Oil and natural gas are mainly used as energy sources- oil for transportation and
industry, and natural gas for heating, electricity and chemical production.
23. NUCLEAR ENERGY
• Nuclear energy is a way of obtaining energy from the controlled release of
energy found in the nucleus of atoms.
• Nuclear energy is a non-renewable resource because once the uranium is
used, it is gone.
• Nuclear energy is primarily used for electricity generation through nuclear
power plants.

25. Non-Renewable Energy Resources Distribution in Bangladesh
Note: There is no single, official
map that shows the exact
distribution of all non-renewable
resources (such as coal, gas, and
oil) across Bangladesh in one
frame. However, available mineral
resource maps and gas field maps
give us a partial view.
In this slide, we have used a
mineral resources map of
Bangladesh and coal and gas
area map as a proxy, which shows
the location of key geological
resources like coal fields
(e.g.,Barapukuria, Phulbari) and
known gas basins (e.g., Sylhet,
Habiganj, Chittagong). Though it
does not represent all non-
renewable energy reserves
directly, it helps us understand
where in the country the major
fossil fuel deposits are likely to be
found.

31. Impacts of Energy Sources on Climate Change
How energy sources impact climate change?
Energy sources produce greenhouse gases
like CO , CH , N O, fluorinated gases like
₂ ₄ ₂
HFCs, PFCs, SF .
₆
These greenhouse gases deviates global
temperature abnormally.
This unusual atmospheric temperature
causes unusual climate conditions.
Also, deforestation due to the construction
of energy plants releases stored CO .
₂
Nuclear power plants, coal and oil energy
sources cause more climate change globally as
they emit greenhouse gases mostly.
Sadly, use of most of these resources are
increasing day by day.
Effect of solar, hydro and wind energy on the
environment and climate change is low.
Figure: Effects of energy sources on climate
change globally (Karaoğlan & Durukan, n.d.)
Figure: World Energy Consumption (“Environmental
Impact of the Energy Industry,” 2025)
32. How Energy Sources Produce GHG?
Burning of Fossil Fuels
Coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to
produce electricity and heat.
This combustion releases CO , the most
₂
common GHG.
Methane (CH ) Leaks
₄
During extraction of natural gas, methane
can escape.
Oil and Diesel Use in Transport & Industry
Burning petrol, diesel emits CO and N O.
₂ ₂
Coal Combustion
Burning coal emits large amounts of CO₂
and also SO and particulates.
₂
It is the major contributor of global GHG
emission.
Biomass and Wood Burning
Burning organic material like wood or crop
waste releases CO .

33. Impacts of GHG on Climate
Change
Global Warming
GHGs trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere
CO , CH , and N O are the major
₂ ₄ ₂
contributors.
Rising Sea Levels
Warmer temperatures cause glaciers and
polar ice caps to melt.
Thermal expansion of seawater adds to rising
sea levels.
Coastal areas (like Bangladesh) face
increased flooding and salinity intrusion.
Extreme Weather Events
More frequent and intense Heatwaves,
Floods, Droughts, Cyclones and hurricanes
These events threaten agriculture,
infrastructure, and human lives.

of Greenhouse Gases on Climate Change and
Environment (How We Are Affecting Climate
Change, n.d.)
34. How the Energy Sources in Bangladesh affect
Climate Change
• Energy sources in Bangladesh are significant
contributors of greenhouse gases (GHG)
• Fossil CO2 emissions in Bangladesh
were 109,075,300 tons in 2022, which is a share of
0.28% of world’s CO2 emissions.
• Natural Gas (~50% of power generation)
Dominant energy source, emits CO .
₂
Methane leakage during extraction is also a
potent GHG.
Causes heating, poor air quality.
• Transport Sector Emissions
Most run on diesel and petrol CO , N O.
₂ ₂
Causes urban heat
• Coal-Based Power Plants (Growing rapidly)
Example: Payra, Rampal, Barapukuria coal
plants.
Emit large volumes of CO , SO , and particulate
₂ ₂
matter.
Figure: Bangladesh CO2 emissions by Year and
Sector (Bangladesh CO2 Emissions, n.d.)
35. Key Impacts of Climate Change on Energy Sources
Disruptions to Energy Supply
• Hurricanes, droughts, and floods damage
infrastructure.
• Thawing permafrost harms pipelines (e.g., Alaska).
• Water shortages reduce power plant and
hydropower efficiency.
Interruptions to Transmission
• Heat, wildfires, storms damage power lines and
storage.
• High temperatures reduce transmission capacity.
• Wildfires both damage and are triggered by
transmission systems.
Strain on Energy System
• Rising temperatures → higher demand for cooling.
• Increased risk of blackouts, especially in summer.
The Relationship Between Energy Sources and Climate
Change is Truly Vice Versa!
Figure: Warmer, drier conditions caused by climate
change are expected to make wildfires more frequent
and intense. When a tree came in contact with
electrical distribution lines, it sparked the largest wildfire
in California’s history, the 2021 Dixie Fire. (US EPA, 2022)

36. Earth's Energy Budget:
Our Planet's Climate
Engine
• Earth's energy budget describes the balance between
incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial
radiation.
• It essentially tracks how energy from the sun enters,
moves through, and exits the Earth system.
• This balance is crucial for maintaining a stable climate, as
any imbalance can lead to global warming or cooling.
37. Understanding Earth's Energy Flow
Incoming Solar Radiation
100% reaches Earth's atmosphere.
Reflected (Albedo)
About 30% bounces back to space.
Absorbed Energy
Roughly 70% warms surface and
atmosphere.
Outgoing Longwave
Earth emits infrared heat to space.
Back Radiation
Greenhouse gases re-radiate heat back.

(Greenhouse Effect)
Atmospheric gases trap and
re-emit heat.
39. Incoming Solar Radiation: The Sun's Power
Solar Constant
Approximately 1,361 W/m² at the top of Earth's atmosphere.
Earth's Interception
Our planet intercepts an average of about 340 W/m² globally.
Shortwave Radiation
This includes UV, visible light, and near-infrared wavelengths.
Atmospheric Absorption
About 23% is absorbed by atmospheric gases, clouds, and aerosols.
Surface Absorption
A significant 47% is absorbed directly by Earth's oceans and land surfaces.
40. Outgoing Radiation and Albedo: Earth's Reflection and
Re-emission
Albedo Effect
Earth's average albedo is about 30%,
reflecting roughly 100 W/m² back to space.
Cloud Reflection
Clouds reflect 23% of incoming solar radiation.
Surface Reflection
The Earth's surface reflects 7% of the solar radiation.
Longwave Re-emission
Absorbed energy is re-emitted as longwave (infrared
radiation.
Greenhouse Effect
Atmospheric gases trap approximately 155
W/m², warming the surface by about 33°C
(59°F).
Source:(IPCC, 2021)
41. Albedo Effect: Earth's Reflectivity
What is Albedo?
Albedo is the measure of how much solar radiation is
reflected by a surface. It's crucial for Earth's
temperature regulation.
Earth's Average Albedo
Globally, Earth reflects about 30% of incoming
solar radiation.
High Albedo: Snow & Ice
Bright surfaces reflect more
sunlight, keeping areas cooler.
Low Albedo: Forests &
Oceans
Dark surfaces absorb more
sunlight, leading to warming.
Climate Impact
Changes in albedo, like
melting ice, accelerate
warming.
42. The Greenhouse Effect
Natural Greenhouse Effect
Vital for life, traps heat, maintains Earth's temperature.
Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Human activities increase heat-
trapping gases, causing warming.
Carbon Dioxide (CO )
₂
Major contributor from fossil fuels.
Methane (CH )
₄
Potent gas from agriculture and landfills.
Water Vapor (H O)
₂
Most abundant greenhouse gas.
43. • Researchers have found that Earth’s
energy imbalance approximately
doubled during the 14-year period from
2005 to 2019.
• The doubling of the imbalance is
partially the result of
-an increase in greenhouse
gases due to human activity
(anthropogenic forcing)
-increase in water vapor
trapping -the related decrease in clouds
and sea ice lead to more
absorption of solar energy.

McKinsey estimates hydrogen could
cut global emissions by 20% by 2050.
However, an additional $460B
investment is needed to scale up.
The energy future is renewable,
efficient, and intelligent, but achieving
it requires coordinated efforts from
governments, industries, and
individuals. With continued innovation,
investment, and policy support, a
sustainable, low-carbon future is within
reach
