Abstract

Bangladesh is a country of natural resources, but it is facing necessary energy supply difficulties for its low economical condition. Biogas can be used a substitute energy generating source in Bangladesh for its suitable climate. About 35°C temperatures are suitable for biogas production. In Bangladesh, the essential materials for biogas production can be arranged very easy and cheapest way depending on country temperature (4°C - 41°C) as it is an agricultural country. About 64 study data was collected from different biogas plants from three Upazila under Jessore district named Jessore sadar, Jhikargachha and Noapara paurasava. Three sizes of biogas plants have been observed in the study areas, which are based on cow dung. The constructional costs of these plants were from 36000 taka to 52000 taka. Biogas is beneficial to human health and environment assistances. Approximately 86% and 80.3% male informed that biogas has improved their mental and physical health respectively. This response has reached more than 95% for female. Maximum male and female thought that not only physical and mental health but also their financial conditions are also benefited by using biogas. About 85.4% to 97.65% male and 88.69% to 98.72% female realized that it has the capability to decrease various waste materials that may have contrary effect on environment. From this survey, it is able to be stated that Bangladesh has an amazing potentiality to adopt more plant life particularly in rural areas for easing the existing environmental degradation, gas power storage, and developing financial situations with suitable health.
