Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Measuring Relative Efficiency of Greenhouse Gas Technologies: AHP/DEA Hybrid Model

Korean government now establishes a new strategic ten-year plan that will cover the period from 2006 through 2015. In this paper, we prioritize the relative weights of energy technologies in terms of the national greenhouse gas plan using the AHP/DEA hybrid model. This model, which is composed of the analytic hierarchy process and data envelopment analysis, represents one of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. In order to facilitate energy policy makers tasks in conjunction with the formulation of national decisions and energy policies, this study introduces a scientific procedure which can be used to measure the relative efficiency and priorities of various greenhouse gas technologies.
