Asaduzzaman, M.Barnes, Douglas F.Khandker, Shahidur R.2014-03-312014-03-312009-03https://hdl.handle.net/10986/17529This study, the first to concentrate on Bangladesh's energy systems and their effects on the lives of rural people, drew on these background studies, as well as other World Bank-financed research on IAP and rural infrastructure, to present a rural energy strategy for the country. The study's broad aim was to identify ways to improve the living standard in rural Bangladesh through better and more efficient use of energy, while creating an environment conducive to growth and poverty reduction. For any developing country, the crux of a rural energy strategy is to have more and better choices for meeting rural demand for energy through market mechanisms and sound policy. This goes hand in hand with the development of competent implementing institutions, which are critical to the process. Also important are new supply- and demand side technologies that can be used to raise rural people's welfare and improve productivity to increase growth prospects. Accordingly, the rural energy strategy advocated by this study aims to satisfy the types of demand that increase household welfare and raise rural growth prospects as energy becomes a direct input into the production process.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO ENERGYACCESS TO GRIDACCESS TO GRID ELECTRICITYACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYAGRICULTURAL RESIDUEAGRICULTURAL RESIDUESAIR POLLUTIONAMOUNT OF GASANIMAL DUNGANNUAL ENERGY USEAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBAGASSEBALANCEBASIC ENERGYBASIC LIGHTINGBATTERIESBIO-GASBIOFUELSBIOGASBIOGAS TECHNOLOGYBIOMASSBIOMASS BURNINGBIOMASS COLLECTIONBIOMASS DEMANDBIOMASS ENERGIESBIOMASS ENERGYBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS SOURCEBIOMASS STOVESCHARCOALCLAY STOVECLAY STOVESCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOMBUSTIONCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCOMMERCIAL FUELSCOMPRESSED NATURAL GASCONNECTED HOUSEHOLDSCONSUMER DEMANDCOST OF SERVICECOW DUNGCROPCROP RESIDUECROP RESIDUESDEMAND CURVEDEMAND FOR ENERGYDEMAND GROWTHDIESELDIESEL ENGINESDIESEL POWERDIESEL USEDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYDOMESTIC GASEFFICIENT ENERGY USEEFFICIENT USEEFFICIENT USE OF BIOMASSEFFICIENT USE OF ENERGYELECTRIC APPLIANCESELECTRIC HEATERELECTRIC LAMPSELECTRIC LIGHTINGELECTRIC LIGHTSELECTRIC MOTORSELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY BILLSELECTRICITY COMPANIESELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GRIDELECTRICITY PRICEELECTRICITY PRICINGELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRICITY USEEND USESEND-USEEND-USE EFFICIENCYENERGY ACCESSENERGY BALANCEENERGY COMPONENTENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY CONVERSIONENERGY COSTSENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCIESENERGY EXPENDITUREENERGY EXPENDITURESENERGY MARKETSENERGY NEEDSENERGY OUTPUTENERGY POLICIESENERGY PRICESENERGY PRICINGENERGY PROBLEMSENERGY PRODUCERSENERGY PROJECTSENERGY SECTORENERGY SERVICESENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENERGY STRATEGYENERGY SUPPLIESENERGY SUPPLYENERGY SYSTEMSENERGY TECHNOLOGIESENERGY USEENERGY USESENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHFOREST COVERFUELFUEL COLLECTIONFUEL SOURCEFUEL SUBSTITUTIONFUEL TYPESFUELSGASGAS FIELDSGAS SECTORGENERATIONGRID CONNECTIONGRID ELECTRICITYGRID ELECTRIFICATIONGRID SYSTEMGRID SYSTEMSHEALTH RISKSHEATHEATING ENERGYHEAVY RELIANCEHOUSEHOLD COOKINGHOUSEHOLD DEMANDHOUSEHOLD ELECTRIFICATIONHOUSEHOLD ENERGYHOUSEHOLD ENERGY CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD ENERGY USEHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD LIGHTINGHUMAN HEALTHHYDROCARBONSINCOMEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYKEROSENEKEROSENE LAMPSKEROSENE LANTERNKEROSENE USEKILOWATT-HOURKILOWATT-HOURSLAND OWNERSHIPLNGMETHANEMICRO-GRIDSMINERAL RESOURCESMODERN FUELSNATIONAL ENERGY POLICYNATIONAL GRIDNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESOILOIL EQUIVALENTPER CAPITA INCOMEPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPOLLUTIONPOWERPOWER GRIDPOWER RATINGPOWER SECTORPRICE OF ELECTRICITYPROCESS HEATQUANTITY OF FUELRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESRURAL AREASRURAL CONSUMERSRURAL ELECTRICRURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVESRURAL ELECTRICITYRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMRURAL ENERGYRURAL ENERGY DEMANDRURAL ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRURAL ENERGY MARKETSRURAL ENERGY SOLUTIONSRURAL ENERGY SUPPLYRURAL ENERGY USERURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSMOKESOLAR HOMESOLAR HOME SYSTEMSSOURCE OF ELECTRICITYSPACE COOLINGSPACE HEATINGSUGARSUGAR CANESUSTAINABLE ENERGYSUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTTOTAL CONSUMPTIONTRADITIONAL BIOMASSTRADITIONAL STOVESTYPES OF ENERGYURBAN POPULATIONUSE OF BIOMASSUSE OF BIOMASS ENERGYVILLAGE ENTERPRISESWASTEWOOD10.1596/17529
