Exploring the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of carbon capture technologies in Bangladesh for sustainable green environments

Purpose This study aims to comprehensively examine the environmental, health, economic and social benefits of carbon capture technologies (CCTs) in Bangladesh, thereby contributing to sustainable green environments. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a unique approach to quantitative surveys and primary data analysis. It actively involves diverse stakeholders in data collection, including policymakers, industry professionals and the public, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Findings Implementing CCTs in Bangladesh brings about a host of benefits. It not only leads to a significant reduction in CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions, thereby improving air quality and public health but also it stimulates public awareness and education, bolstering support for CCTs. The economic benefits are diverse, encompassing job creation and industry expansion, painting a promising picture for Bangladesh’s future. In essence, CCTs can enhance Bangladesh’s social well-being and quality of life, presenting a viable roadmap for sustainable, long-term development. Research limitations/implications While this study provides significant insights into the impact of CCTs on people’s lives in Bangladesh, it is essential to recognize its limitations. However, this ongoing study is crucial in advancing sustainable technologies, underscoring the necessity for continual research and enhancement to ensure a sustainable future. Originality/value This study stands out for its comprehensive examination of the social effects of CCTs in a developing country. Integrating diverse data types and methods provides unique insights to policymakers, business leaders and academics. These insights empower decision-makers to advocate for green technologies and sustainable development in similar contexts, fostering informed decision-making and strategic planning.
