Sheikh Shahariar Zaman, a Senior Correspondent at bdnews24.com, reported that the government plans to implement a Green Initiative in all export-processing zones to decrease energy consumption. Mahbubur Rahman, a member of the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority, explained that industries in the EPZs currently release steam into the air from boilers, which could be utilized to generate heat and save a significant amount of energy. Rahman stated that a project is underway at the Chittagong Export Processing Zone to create a plan for reducing carbon emissions, with support from the International Finance Corporation, UKAID, KOICA, and the European Union. This initiative will be expanded to other export processing zones in order to ensure the efficient use of energy. Rahman emphasized that all export-processing zones will be included in this system to help Bangladesh meet its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. There are eight export-processing zones in Bangladesh, according to Senior Investment Officer of International Finance Corporation Han-koo Yeo. Yeo emphasized the importance of awareness and sharing knowledge when adopting the Green Initiative. He mentioned that the project in Chittagong would allow local companies to learn how to implement the initiative. Yeo also highlighted the significance of using energy efficiently for sustainable business development.
