An Optimal Site Selection Framework for Near-Zero Carbon Emission Power Plants Based on Multiple Stakeholders

Near-zero carbon emission power (NZCEP) plants, consisting of gas-fired units; wind turbines; power-to-gas (P2G); and capture, utilization storage (CCUS) systems, have recently received a lot attention due to their enormous benefits in reducing emissions increasing the consumption renewable energy. However, complex environment interest combination risks makes development very slow. This paper establishes risk analysis framework for NZCEP considering multi-stakeholder participation. Firstly, synthetic factor system was constructed based on stakeholders’ interests. Subsequently, interval type II trapezoidal fuzzy numbers were used final weights calculated from both subjective objective aspects. Finally, we applied an acronym Portuguese interactive multi-criteria decision-making (TODIM) method site selection achieve balance interests all stakeholders. In addition, case study conducted. The result demonstrates that Zhengzhou Henan Province is best choice plant. A further finding government plays important role with results being most sensitive changes government’s appetite. Moreover, human resources are siting
