Referring to the new concept of hydrogen power generation from sea water, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said discussions are on in this regard and talks are being held with all the companies that gave proposals in this regard.
“If possible, feasibility study of hydrogen power generation at Matarbari, Maheshkhali or Banshkhali will be done,” she said.
The premier was responding to a tabled question from ruling party member Anwar Hossain Khan, according to UNB.
The Prime Minister said that in some countries of the world, electricity is generated by using the tides of the sea, which is costly and has not been commercially successful.
“There are currently no plans to set up such a power plant as it is costly,” she said, informing about the idea of producing hydrogen electricity from sea water.
Mentioning that it is very costly, she said that in the future, if the cost of constructing such power plants comes down, the plan to use the tides of the Bay of Bengal for electricity production can be adopted to build a power plant.
