| Abstract | This study illustrates the full involvement of Bangladesh in the international debate on global climate change, despite the relatively minor contribution this country makes to worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases, especially, carbon dioxide. This study suggests policies that will allow this nation to support the growth in energy services required to foster economic development through the use of less carbon-intensive technologies. By using the energyenvironmental model EFOM-ENV as a tool, cost-efficient mixtures of technological emission control measures, including fuel switching, substitution of energy-conversion technologies and application of emission reduction technologies, are being determined for Bangladesh to comply with the different emission control targets and existing legal regulations. The methodological approach and selected results are presented in this study. |
