SECTOR WISE FOSSIL FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION IN BANGLADESH (Pages : 7 - 12)

This study was carried out to estimate the amount of CO2 emission due to combustion of fossil fuel from five different sectors viz. domestic, industrial, commercial, transport and agriculture during 1988 to 2004. IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories were followed for estimation of CO2 emission. It was observed that consumption of fossil fuels and CO2 emission showed increasing trend over the period of investigation. Total consumption of fossil fuel was calculated to be 2849 thousand tons in the year of 1988-1989 while the amount increased 5 times during the period of 2004-2005. In 1988-1989, CO2 emitted from industrial, domestic, commercial, transportation and agricultural sectors were 768.2, 667.5, 148.1, 508.4 and 318.1 kilo tons respectively while the values were, for industrial, commercial, transportation and agricultural sectors were 4313.7, 2978.6, 350.7, 6330.5, 2930.6 kilo tons respectively in the year 2004-2005. The total emission of CO2 from these five sectors was 2410.3 kilo ton in the year of 1988-1989 and it increased to16906.3 kilo ton in the year of 2003-2004 due to increased fossil fuel consumption.Download
