Abstract
Identifying proper location of a biomass facility is a critical issue due to biomass materials characteristic geographically spread. This paper presents a GIS-MCDA approach with WLC and sensitivity analysis to optimize suitable areas of a biomass facility. The approach can be used to solve renewable energy planning problems in sustainable environment context. The results' analysis with 16 criteria concludes the most suitable locations close to agricultural and forestal areas, 8.64% of the Spanish case study region. Therefore, the results denote that the approach proposed could be used for decision-makings for renewable energy management policy in various governmental and industrial sectors.
