摘要

Rising atmospheric CO2 levels from industrial activities have intensified global warming, significantly affecting countries like Bangladesh, which is particularly vulnerable to climate-related risks such as flooding, sea-level rise, agricultural disruptions and health challenges. Bangladesh’s dense population, geographic location, and socioeconomic conditions heighten these vulnerabilities, necessitating urgent and effective mitigation strategies. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) offers a promising strategic approach to mitigate these impacts, specifically by leveraging the potential future availability of depleted gas fields for significant CO2 storage in Bangladesh. This review addresses a crucial research gap by examining the future potential and strategic viability of CCS deployment in Bangladesh. It highlights and identifies substantial storage opportunities that are anticipated to be depleted, projected to occur after 2031, based on current gas reserve forecasts. The study specifies critical CO2 capture sectors, particularly power generation and industrial combustion, as primary targets due to their substantial emissions contribution. It also outlines prospective CCS hub locations strategically selected to streamline logistics and transportation, favoring truck-based CO2 transport over pipeline transport based on anticipated cost-effectiveness, infrastructural adaptability, and flexibility for future scalability. The insights provided by this study are critical for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental planners, offering a foundational basis to strategically plan and prepare for future CCS implementation. The study emphasizes the necessity of proactive policy frameworks, robust regulatory oversight, and infrastructure planning. By addressing these dimensions, the review ultimately supports Bangladesh’s efforts toward climate resilience and alignment with global climate commitments.
