“…Sliogeriene et al 52 utilized the ARAS method to choose the energy generation technology in Lithuania, and found that it was viable to develop the nuclear power generation in the future. For the studies about Hydrogen energy, Iordache et al 107 and Mostafaeipour et al 71 proposed ARAS‐based decision‐making technologies to site selection of seasonal hydrogen storage in Romania and the location ranking of geothermal energy‐based hydrogen production in Afghanistan, respectively. In addition, the selection of optimal renewable energy resources 79 and the evaluation of the sustainability indicators for renewable energy systems 65 received focuses from researchers as well, in which the proposed ARAS‐based models presented fancy capability to handle this kind of problems in uncertain environment.…”

Multi‐attribute decision‐making (MADM) is one of the most important parts in decision‐making theory, and related research is becoming more and more popular over the past few years. Investigating that the information could be qualitative and quantitative, and the different measurement units cause difficulties in some MADM problems, the additive ratio assessment system (ARAS) method was proposed. The method tries to solve MADM problems through a simple way efficiently, and at the same time eliminates the influence of different measurement units. Till now, the method has received extensive attention and has been extended to different information environments and application fields. To know about the development of the method and improve the method efficiently, this paper reviews the studies on the ARAS method from the perspectives of basic information (including the bibliometrics analyses and the outline of ARAS method), the development on theory (including the development on MADM mechanism, different information environments, and combination with different methods), the development on the application and the future challenge. From the overview, the basic situations and the development of the ARAS method are presented clearly, and the analyses of the challenges can also provide useful and sufficient instructions for the future application and improvement of the method.

“…Additionally, the two most compelling advantages to using geothermal energy are the low or zero carbon emissions making it one of the cleanest energy sources and it can provide power for 24 hours in a continuous manner which other RES cannot (Jiang et al, 2017). Since it can only be used for electricity generation, direct use of heat, and heat pumps, it is reasonable to combine it with other solutions including the production of green hydrogen to store the underutilized energy for future use (Mostafaeipour et al, 2020). Continuous electricity generation at the lowest possible cost makes green hydrogen production from geothermal highly cost-effective and sustainable.…”

“…According to the Afghanistan Power Sector Master Plan (APSMP), the electricity demand of the country is expected to reach about 3500 MW by 2032 [47]. Therefore, the Afghan government has made the acquisition of off-grid technologies, including renewable energies, the highest priority as it provides the best long-term solution to Afghanistan's electricity problems [48]. Renewable energies offer great opportunities for bringing electricity to Afghans, especially those living in rural and remote areas [49].…”

“…Afghanistan also has access to the technologies needed to effectively harness geothermal energy potentials [51]. The terrain in Afghanistan suggests that there are vast systems of groundwater circulating beneath the country [48]. However, despite the excellent geothermal potential present here, Afghanistan still does not have a single geothermal power plant [17].…”

In recent decades, many countries have shown a growing interest in the use of renewable energies for power generation. Geothermal energy is a clean and environmentally friendly source of renewable energy that can be used to produce electricity and heat for industrial and domestic applications. While Afghanistan has undeniably good geothermal potential that can be utilised to alleviate the country’s current energy limitations, so far this potential has remained completely untapped. In this study, the suitability of 21 provinces for geothermal project implementation in Afghanistan was evaluated using multiple multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. The stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) method was used to weigh each criterion while the additive ratio assessment (ARAS) method was used to rank potential geothermal sites. The technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), the vlse kriterijumsk optimizacija kompromisno resenje (VIKOR), and the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) methods were also used in this study. These rankings were then examined via sensitivity analysis which indicated that a 5% change in criteria weights altered the rankings in all methods except the VIKOR method. Volcanic dome density was ranked the most important criteria. All the methods identified Ghazni province as the most suitable location for geothermal project implementation in Afghanistan.
