“…Renewable energy resources are regarded as one of the most effective solutions for pollution, emission of greenhouse gases, and energy crises worldwide. Wind energy generation is considered a potential renewable energy Journal of Power and Energy Engineering resource for resolving the ongoing energy crisis because it provides clean energy at low power generation costs [1] [2] [3]; the reasons behind people having to search for energy from the available resources. On the other hand, renewable energy is eco-friendly as well as provides green energy.…”

The wind turbine has the advantage of operating uninterruptedly, which ensures a constant source of electricity. This investigation includes a clear overview of the wind velocity, the flow direction; the amount of energy reserved, suitable regions for wind turbine installation, etc. The feasibility and possibility of installing a wind energy conversion system for several locations in Bangladesh are analyzed. A brief study of wind characteristics in different locations in Bangladesh is reported. Wind data obtained from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) for Mongla, Patuakhali, Kutubdia, and Bhola stations are analyzed through wind rose, frequency distribution, and average wind velocity. The performance of suitable small-scale wind turbines will be assessed in order to confirm the prospect of wind turbines in Bangladesh.

“…As such, along with the country's rapid socio-economic development, significant progress has been made in household cooking fuel using patterns, including rising dependency on electric and gas stoves. 24 Moreover, awareness of the adverse effects of solid fuel use also motivates people in changing their solid fuel using place, from inside to outside of the living room or corner of the yard. This could alternate or reduce the strength of the reported association between HAP and under-five mortality in Bangladesh.…”

“…Following this study period, a number of national-level policies and programs to increase awareness about the adverse effect of solid fuel use as well as to reduce the use of solid fuel have been taken in Bangladesh. As such, along with the country’s rapid socio-economic development, significant progress has been made in household cooking fuel using patterns, including rising dependency on electric and gas stoves [24]. Moreover, awareness of the adverse effects of solid fuel use also motivates people in changing their solid fuel using place, from inside to outside of the living room or corner of the yard.…”

Background: Solid fuel use was found to be associated with under-five mortality in low- and lower-middle income countries (LMICs). However, the current understanding of this association for Bangladesh is absent through around 80% of the total households in Bangladesh used solid fuel and the higher under-five mortality rate is a significant public health burden. We explored the associations of household cooking fuels used and the level of exposure to HAP through cooking fuels used with neonatal, infant, and under-five child mortality in Bangladesh. Methods: We analysed 4,198 mother-child dyads data extracted from the 2017/18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. Type of cooking fuels used (solid fuel, clean fuel) and level of exposure to HAP through cooking fuels used (unexposed, moderately exposed, highly exposed) were considered as exposure variables. Neonatal, infant and under-five mortality were considered as the outcome variables. Relationships between the exposure and outcome variable were explored by using the multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression model adjusting for possible confounders. Results Solid fuels were found to be used in nearly 80% of the total mothers analysed. A higher likelihood of mortality was found among neonates (aOR, 3.78; 95% CI, 1.14- 12.51) and infants (aOR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.60-6.15) of the women who used solid fuels as compared to the mothers who used clean fuel. The association was found strongest when we considered solid fuel used together with place of cooking. The likelihood of neonatal and infant mortality was found 4.33 (95% CI, 1.16-16.23) and 2.05 (95% CI, 1.18-7.23) times higher among mothers who were highly exposed to solid fuel used as compared to the mothers who were unexposed to solid fuel used. Conclusion Solid fuel used and its increased exposure increased the occurrence of neonatal and infant mortality. Prioritizing the use of clean fuel use and increasing awareness about the adverse effects of solid fuel use are important.
