Transforming Bangladesh’s Energy Landscape with EO

As Bangladesh works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement, the GDA Clean Energy Activity, together with the World Bank are working to advance the country’s clean energy goals. This collaboration focuses on scaling up biogas and biomethane production by integrating Earth Observation (EO) technologies to identify methane emission sources and optimise feedstock sourcing. By using satellite data, the partnership is supporting the development of a sustainable biogas market, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and aligning with global climate objectives such as the Global Methane Pledge. Through strategic planning, including spatial modelling and resource optimisation, this initiative is paving the way for a more sustainable and self-sufficient energy future in Bangladesh.

This collaboration not only advances Bangladesh’s climate goals but also provides a replicable model for other developing countries. Through strategic planning, spatial analysis, and the development of business models for industrial-scale biogas production, the partnership is laying the foundation for a sustainable and self-sufficient energy future in Bangladesh, while contributing to global methane mitigation efforts.
