Hi all

Does anybody out there have a working LEAP dataset for Bangladesh which we could have access to for a student project?

I've been approached by a Masters student at Copenhagen University who'd like to do a study on Bangladesh looking at links between energy, economic development and GHG emissions.

We would support the student from the UNEP Ris� Centre and guarantee proper use of the data.

Regards

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

In the autumn of 2008, I supervised a 7th sem. group on our Master's program in "Sustainable energy planning and management" at Aalborg University, Denmark (consider it an ad) that developed a Bangladesh LEAP dataset. It is highly aggregate on the demand side, detailed on central electricity generation, basically listed every plant. From what I remember, their alternative scenarios were a bit misunderstood, as these did not meet the same energy requirements as their reference.

I have uploaded their report and dataset. If they read this, I hope the forgive me for sharing :-)

All the best
