Özet

Hydrogen is rapidly gaining attention as a clean energy carrier, critical for the global energy transition. As the global shift toward sustainable energy intensifies, hydrogen has emerged as a key component of future energy systems. In this review, we address the application of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods in the hydrogen sector, focusing on hydrogen infrastructure's production, storage, and transportation stages. We explore how MCDM methods have been increasingly utilized to manage the complexity of decision-making processes, balancing factors such as energy source availability, storage technology, and transportation methods. Furthermore, this paper provides an overview of MCDM applications, examining how various decision-making approaches have been adapted to tackle the diverse challenges in hydrogen deployment. We also review recent literature to highlight trends in method selection and decision criteria. Our findings emphasize the importance of tailoring MCDM approaches to specific hydrogen subsystems and underscore the need for further research to enhance these methods for future energy landscapes.
