Title	Feasibility study on renewable energies and energy efficiency in the Korean Export Processing Zone (KEPZ) in Bangladesh
Project Type	Feasibility study
Swiss Partner	BHP Brugger and Partners Ltd, Dr. Michel Geelhaar
Technology	Renewable energies and energy efficiency
Description	The Korean Export Processing Zone (= KEPZ) is one of the first private Export Processing Zones (= EPZ) in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has been suffering for years under massive problems in energy production, influencing as well industrial development of KEPZ. The “KEPZ”-feasibility study is therefore analysing the potential of renewable energies, focussing on technical and economic viable „best practice“ energy solutions in the field of “biomass”, “solar” and “hydro”, as well as identifying practicable energy efficiency measures to optimise the energy and material flows within the planned “KEPZ shoe production”. The “KEPZ”-findings will be extrapolated to other industrial facilities in Bangladesh, especially to the governmental EPZs in Dhaka (= DEPZ) and Chittagong (= CEPZ). Directive guidelines will be synthesized to enhance the use of renewable energies and energy efficiency in Bangladesh.
Country	Bangladesh
Swiss Contribution	BHP Brugger and Partners Ltd. has close relationsship with the KEPZ. The “KEPZ”-feasibility study will be conducted in co-operation with two reputed Swiss renewable energy experts, Holinger Ltd. (“biomass”-expert) / entec Ltd. (“hydro”-expert).
