Importance of using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Reduction of Environment Pollution in Bangladesh
Main Article Content
Abstract
Alleviating environmental pollution is one of main global agenda keeping the continuous environment development. On the light of this agenda, everyone can use clean fuel (LPG) for household cooking and for transportations. In case of Bangladesh, more than 90% rural people depends on biomass fuels and 99% urban people depends on gas for cooking. And also 100% of urban people depend on gas or oil for transportation. Whenever, only for using Cow dung, biogas digester exhibited the potential to cut carbon emissions on average by about 7.8 tons of CO2 equivalents yearly. The study mainly focus on the potential reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, deforestation, air pollution, water pollution, deterioration of scarcity by using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The data for this study is secondary that collect from relevant different waive sites and statistical tools and graph for explanation. This study recommends that the government approach, awareness program, and continuous and proper performing of the LPG are helpful for the various environmental benefits.
