Current scenarios of Greenhouse Gas Emission in Bangladesh.
Abstract Statement of the Problem: There is an increasing trend of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Worldwide due to human activities which indicates a substantial increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) (EPA, 2014). The most recent year of GHG emissions from various sectors in Bangladesh’s shown that Agriculture is the leading contributor, with 39% of total emissions. The energy sector is the second highest emitter with the order of electricity and heat production 33%. Energy consumption is increasing due to the expansion of economic activity and population size which results higher GHG emission worldwide. The study has examined the trends of energy consumption and CO2 emission in Bangladesh using the secondary data extracted from the World Development Indicators of the World Bank database. Each greenhouse gas has a various capacities t
