Selection of MCA methods to support decision making for renewable energy developments

The paper concludes that the methodology provides a transferable approach to systematically select a MCA method and to justify this selection. The methodology supports focusing on specific aspects, which are considered important and relevant for decision making processes. Furthermore, the case study's generic decision making situation allows the methodology to be applied broadly within the renewable energy sector. Moreover, the MCA methods and selection criteria identified and reviewed provide a broad application potential to assist MCA method selection in the energy and renewable energy sectors.
