“…The sample calculation of the total relative importance of a fixed dome based on WPM is shown below. Step 10: Evaluate joint generalized criteria Finally, a joint generalized criterion, represented mathematically as Equation (8), is used to integrate additive and multiplicative operations into a weighted aggregate. It combines components from both the Weighted Sum Model (WSM) and the Weighted Product Model (WPM).…”

“…Extensive research has been conducted on food waste as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion, primarily due to its availability and suitability for the process. A communityscale biogas plant in educational institutions to generate biogas from food waste has been found to be a practical solution when quality and feed rate are properly monitored [8]. Significant research efforts have been dedicated to addressing barriers in rural communities and enhancing the technology and dissemination of biogas systems.…”

The purpose of this research paper is to present a framework for selecting a biogas plant for the Indian rural community, considering performability factors such as reliability, quality, maintainability, safety, and sustainability. This will ensure that the plant operates reliably, efficiently, and safely over its entire life cycle and can play a significant role as a decision-support tool for decision-makers (e.g., managers, engineers, stakeholders). The proposed framework integrates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) to optimally evaluate and prioritize the best alternative based on performability factors. The findings show that the suitable biogas plant in the context of the Indian rural population is a fixed-dome-type plant. The decision-making process in selecting the best biogas plant can be effectively aided by using this suggested tool. Currently, there are no proper tools or methods for selecting biogas plants for rural areas due to a lack of data or relevant literature on operational issues. The proposed method uses performability factors for the selection, which has not been researched so far. Moreover, the AHP–WASPAS approach offers a robust method for selecting biogas plants, ensuring efficient and sustainable energy production. The proposed method will help policymakers and stakeholders to choose the best biogas plant in the context of Indian rural application.
