No, baking powder and baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) are not the same thing. Baking soda is a pure chemical compound (sodium bicarbonate) that requires an acid and moisture to activate and produce carbon dioxide for leavening. Baking powder contains baking soda along with an acid (usually cream of tartar) and a moisture-absorbing agent, allowing it to leaven baked goods on its own when mixed with liquid.

Can you use bicarb in flour instead of baking powder in biscuit mix?
Bicarbonate of soda (aka, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate) and baking powder are both "leavening" agents. Certain recipes call for baking powder while others call for baking soda due to the amount of rising that will occur and the conditions that are required to cause these reactions. When using baking soda (bicarb) alone, an acidic ingredient is needed to cause the chemical reaction, such as buttermilk, cocoa, etc, however if the recipe calls for baking powder, using baking soda alone will not give you the same effect and the baked good may not rise as fully as intended (although it is still possible to do this). To solve this you can easily make your own baking powder. To make your own baking powder, mix 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda (bicarb). This will give you the "double acting" effect you find in most commercial baking powders.
