Selection of Low-Carbon Hydrogen Supply Chain Network by Best–Worst Method

Supply Chain Network (SCN) selection is formulated as a multi-criteria decision-making problem, in which evaluation criteria play a critical role in a realistic assessment of the suppliers. Several national and international hydrogen roadmaps have been developed identifying the progression of hydrogen applications over time. These show massive growth in hydrogen production and use, across a diverse range of sectors, largely stimulated by the low-carbon transition. So, stimulating the supply chain also includes initiating and growing training and development opportunities in hydrogen-related areas, developing technologies for future commercialization and supporting the creation of new entrepreneurial businesses with innovative solutions. The evaluation criteria can be used to link supplier selection and segmentation steps to have more efficient and effective supplier relationship management. Best-worst multi-criteria decision-making method (BWM) is used for supplier selection. The proposed approach enables decision-makers to avoid information loss within their decision-making procedure resulting in more realistic decisions. The final results show the best SCN for low-carbon hydrogen.
