Biomass is emerging as one of the possible renewable energy resources that may be used to generate energy. Through the proper channels, such as chemical, biochemical, and thermochemical processes, it can be turned into electricity. In the context of India, the potential sources of biomass can be broken down into agricultural waste, tanning waste, sewage, vegetable waste, food, meat waste, and liquor waste. Each form of biomass energy so extracted has advantages and downsides, so determining which one is best is crucial to reaping the most benefits. The selection of biomass conversion methods is especially significant since it requires a careful study of multiple factors, which can be aided by fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models. This paper proposes the normal wiggly interval-valued hesitant fuzzy-based decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory model (DEMATEL) and the Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations II (PROMETHEE) for assessing the problem of determining a workable biomass production technique. The proposed framework is used to assess the production processes under consideration based on parameters such as fuel cost, technical cost, environmental safety, and <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$CO_2$$<\/jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                  <mml:mrow>\n                    <mml:mi>C<\/mml:mi>\n                    <mml:msub>\n                      <mml:mi>O<\/mml:mi>\n                      <mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn>\n                    <\/mml:msub>\n                  <\/mml:mrow>\n                <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula> emission levels. Bioethanol has been developed as a viable industrial option due to its low carbon footprint and environmental viability. Furthermore, the superiority of the suggested model is demonstrated by comparing the results to other current methodologies. According to comparative study, the suggested framework might be developed to handle complex scenarios with many variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40747-023-01097-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]],"date-time":"2023-05-29T02:01:43Z","timestamp":1685325703000},"page":"6681-6695","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Selection of suitable biomass conservation process techniques: a versatile approach to normal wiggly interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set using multi-criteria decision making"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Samayan","family":"Narayanamoorthy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"L.","family":"Ramya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Angappa","family":"Gunasekaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Samayan","family":"Kalaiselvan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Daekook","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"1097_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1016\/j.engappai.2019.04.005","volume":"82","author":"L Abdullah","year":"2019","unstructured":"Abdullah L, Zulkifli N, Liao H, Herrera-Viedma E, Al-Barakati A (2019) An interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy DEMATEL method combined with Choquet integral for sustainable solid waste management.
