EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL HYDROGEN PRODUCTION METHODS IN TURKEY BY USING A HYBRID METHOD BASED ON PYTHAGOREAN FUZZY AHP AND INTERVAL TYPE-2 FUZZY TOPSIS

Abstract

Hydrogen is a promising energy storage and generation alternative to ensure that renewable energy sources are available to meet all energy needs in the long term. Many factors should be considered for sustainability of the environment while designing a hydrogen supply chain which consists of different production, storage, and transportation methods. Hydrogen energy is a new and innovative area especially for developing countries, so there can be high uncertainty during the decision process because of lack of expertness. In this study, available hydrogen production alternatives of Turkey are evaluated by using an integrated Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS based methodology by considering technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.
