The government is going to introduce a Green Initiative in all the export-processing zones to reduce energy consumption, Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority Member Mahbubur Rahman says. He said the industries using boiler in the EPZs release steam into the air which could be used for generating heat, saving a lot of energy.
According to Rahman, a project is being implemented at Chittagong Export Processing Zone for developing a roadmap to ensure low carbon emission. The project, supported by International Finance Corporation, UKAID, KOICA and the European Union, will be replicated in other 7 export processing zones,. All the export-processing zones would be brought under a system for ensuring efficient use of energy as Bangladesh is committed to reduce carbon emission being most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, said Rahman.
There are eight export-processing zones in Bangladesh.
Senior Investment Officer of International Finance Corporation Han-koo Yeo said awareness and sharing of knowledge are the two most crucial factors to be considered in adopting the Green Initiative. The project being implemented in Chittagong would provide local companies with an opportunity to see how the initiative can be adopted, he added.
Yeo underscored using energy efficiently for ensuring a sustainable development in the business.###
