Abstract
Egypt’s national development plan aims to diversity energy resources and expand near-zero emission energy (NZEE) generation technologies. The target for NZEE’s share in the Egyptian energy basket is 20% by year 2030. There is a set of NZEE projects on the agenda of the decision-makers that needs reconsideration. This study goal is to assist decision-makers and stakeholders in reprioritising the implementation of these projects based on technical, economic, environmental, and social criteria. Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) was employed to rank five specific projects categorised under pumped storage hydropower, nuclear, clean coal, solar, and wind. The results showed that, for the non-biased set of weights, El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant took the first rank. It has been also given the first priority according to environment activists’ biased weights. For the social biased weights, Benban Solar Park outranked all the other projects.
期刊介绍：
Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked. All capital plant and every consumable product depends on an engineering input through design, manufacture and operation, if not for the product itself then for the equipment required to process and transport the raw materials and the final product. Many aspects of sustainable development depend directly on appropriate and timely actions by engineers. Engineering is an extended process of analysis, synthesis, evaluation and execution and, therefore, it is argued that engineers must be involved from the outset of any proposal to develop sustainable solutions. Engineering embraces many disciplines and truly sustainable solutions are usually inter-disciplinary in nature.
