Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elaborate a multi‐criteria methodology for the performance assessment energy supply technologies, which also takes into account dynamics technological change. Design/methodology/approach approach chosen based on outranking Preference Ranking Organisation METHod Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE), linked concept technology's life cycle by assigning criteria weights depending actual development phase certain technology. modifications PROMETHEE algorithm...
Seaweed supply chains in Indonesia, especially carrageenan and agar products, are subject to risks arising both inside the participating companies their external networks. Uncertainties yield, quality, price, infrastructure one part of chain can affect whole chain. To ensure a sustainable seaweed industry, an appropriate risk management (SCRM) is needed. There four critical steps SCRM: identifying chains, categorizing risks, assessing mitigating risks. identify we conducted field research,...
Environmental protection, sustainability, and energy efficiency are important issues in seaport management. As the interface between sea hinterland transport, container terminals play an role global trade, logistics, supply chains. To increase sustainability improve environmental footprint of terminal, a wide range emission abatement measures available. Often, however, there is not only lack precise analysis impact, costs consequences on but also methodology for selection set measures, i.e....
Abstract Background Offshore wind energy (OWE) will play a significant role in achieving climate neutrality. For example, several scenarios for Germany (e.g., Kopernikus base, 1.5 degree, Prognos CN65, and CN60) depict substantial OWE annual installed capacity additions, especially after 2030. This tendency promotes technology development as deployment expands, allowing manufacturers to gain expertise optimize turbine construction. The global trend towards ever-larger components hub height...
Summary Environmental policy is oriented toward integrated pollution prevention, taking into consideration all environmental media (air, water, land) and energy consumption. Therefore, methods for assessing environmentally relevant installations are needed which take economic, technical, especially ecological criteria account simultaneously. Mass flow models used the representation of production processes form basis inventory phase in life‐cycle assessment (LCA). For interpretation LCA...
With the advent of more advanced process models and computational power, integration technologies have gained in importance improving production networks to a sustainable production. The pinch analysis approach from chemical engineering field connection with multi-criteria provides consistent assessment method for different mass energy flows within company, an industry park or even throughout supply chain network. It consequently strives comprehensive optimize system's performance as opposed...
ABSTRACT Since multiple criteria characterise many practical decision problems, the research field of multicriteria analysis (MCDA) is flourishing. This paper compares multi‐attribute making (MADM) methods, simple additive rating (SAR), weighting (SAW) as well outranking approach PROMETHEE and explains their similarities. We present a case study on industrial paint application provide theoretical evidence that can mimic other MADM algorithms. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
