Innovative fuzzy VIKOR approach for green hydrogen technologies assessment: implications for sustainable energy development

Fadoua Tamtam, Amina Tourabi

Abstract


The urgent pursuit of sustainable energy solutions has accelerated advancements in green hydrogen technologies. This study employs the Fuzzy VIKOR method to systematically assess three alternatives—Electrolyzer Technology, Biomass Gasification Technology, and Photovoltaic Electrolysis Technology—using twelve critical criteria, such as Environmental Impact and Technological Innovation. The findings underscore Photovoltaic Electrolysis Technology as the most balanced option, excelling in environmental and cost-effectiveness aspects, thus offering promising insights for stakeholders, policymakers, and society in reducing emissions and combating climate change. This research, despite limitations in data, presents a pioneering use of Fuzzy VIKOR in green hydrogen evaluation, paving the way for informed decision-making in sustainable energy development.
