Abstract

The two demands of green energy upgrade and subsequent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are now being contested for the industrial segments of Bangladesh. Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) present a viable recycled Gas Turbine System Waste Heat Recovery solution specifically due to their innovative, price effective, and effective design. This paper will identify the usage of TEG technology of Bangladesh industries from the year 2011 to the year 2024 in sectors of energy saving, reduction of fuel expenses, environmental concerns and industrial growth. According to the data aggregated from public group accounts, industry reports and research, TEG usage has grown from one in the beginning of 2011 to 250 by the year 2024. This led to 80000 MWh of energy recovery and the fuel costs was reduced to 25% of what it used to be. There was also an improvement in the transmission of helpful policies in the sense that jobs and research spending was also149 enhanced. Integration of TEGs to the power system control of energy usage and environmental protection. Nevertheless, it is to note some of the problem faced here include high set up cost, usage of material and skilled labor. Their solution will assist the industries of Bangladesh to find the advantages of TEG technology completely.
