“…Zhou et al (2006) reviewed the literature about decision analysis in energy based environmental studies. Erdogmus et al (2006) tried to determine the most suitable fuel that could be used for residential heating using the Analytical Network Process (ANP). Terrados et al (2007) focused on operating a strategic plan about the renewable resources, mainly solar and biomass energy, in a province of Spain.…”

Abstract.Energy is substantial for social development and has an essential role for the survival and development of human as an environmental factor. Due to the serious increase ofthe world's primary energy price and rapid development of Turkey's economy, energy consumption of Turkey has become a major problem. For that purpose, opinions of the decision makers upon the relative importance of selection criteria are determined by using a fuzzy AHP procedure based upon type-2 fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making based upon the interval type-2 TOPSIS method is used to rank the best renewable alternative energy. In this paper, a fuzzy multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology was proposed to determine the best renewable energy alternatives for Turkey, because type-2 fuzzy sets provide additional degrees of independence to represent the uncertainty and the fuzziness of real world applications. The results showed that wind was the best alternative for Turkey's energy investments, as being followed subsequently by solar, biomass, geothermal, hydraulic and hydrogen. The results were based upon the opinions of three energy planning experts who ranked the energy alternatives according to the ten criteria we have selected.

“…Buchholz et al (2009a) analyzed different applications based on MCA methods; their work defines the possibilities of the integration of different MCA techniques, taking into account the uncertainty of the evaluation. Among several studies, different applications of MCA in biomass evaluation were also defined in Erdogmus et al (2006) by the description of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and in Buchholz et al (2009b).…”

Keywords:Wood energy chain Partial equilibrium model Multi-objective linear programming Geographic information system Sustainability assessment a b s t r a c tCombining the economics and the environmental and social aspects of bioenergy chain implementation is a difficult task, particularly for wood fuel production. Multiple aspects, such as financial analysis, technology development, natural resource exploitation and avoided environmental pollution, must be considered simultaneously. Thus, decision support models seem to be the proper tools for the overall definition of strategies in the wood energy sector.The objective of this study has been to develop a partial equilibrium model able to quantify the socioeconomic and environmental effects of policy, technology and best biomass allocation scenarios on the forest residue chain. The model, based on multi-objective linear programming and spatial analysis, considers the financial benefits/losses and the potential trends of three compartments: sawmills, forest enterprises and energy plants. In addition, the model computes avoided emissions for bioheat and bioelectricity production and introduces an impact indicator for the road transport of biomass. Model outputs are defined using a multi criteria approach. The main results stress the importance of both environmental parameters and the implementation of organic Rankine cycle technology for the optimization of the entire bioenergy chain. The model was tested in an Italian Alpine region (province of Trento).
