“…The area of concern is a family of key concerns. DMs are asked to identify key concerns and specify the descriptor of performance for them [52], reflecting the goals and mission of an organization [53]. The identified ones must be measurable in the context in which DMs agree to a separate evaluation of the impacts of the options [54].…”

Selecting a sustainable cross-country natural gas pipeline project portfolio plays a vital role in enhancing energy security and national self-reliance. The interdependencies between projects augment the complexity of project portfolio selection. Hence, the selection must be done with sustainable strategic alignment and adjustment of ongoing projects to determine the most suitable project portfolio. This is while they have barely been addressed simultaneously in the literature. The aim of the present study is to fill in the mentioned gap by establishing an integrated framework incorporating the organization strategies, project interdependencies, and ongoing projects in the project portfolio selection problem. This presented framework uses network mapping to visualize project interdependencies and improve the quality of the resulting decision. The decision-aid approach of Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) was employed to tackle multi-criteria value measurement in project portfolio selection. Applicability and validity of the proposed framework were tested using the case study of the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC). The pipeline project portfolios were analyzed on the basis of experts’ opinions with regard to technical and sustainability strategic criteria (economic, environmental, and social pillars).

Abstract. Currently in the Russian Federation one of the most important strategic goals set by the President of the Russian Federation, is to reduce by 2020 energy intensity of domestic economy by 40%. On the way to achieving this goal, all organizations (institutions) of business, government, society and households should be energy efficient. The paper dwells upon the problem of rational use of energy by regional enterprises. It discusses the theoretical and methodological aspects of developing software that combines the functionality of a training program for beginners and that of universal assistant for energy audit and management practitioners. «sto: Energoauditor.1» has been tested by budget-funded companies and enterprises in Volgograd Oblast to prove the feasibility of using it for making energy audits or filling energy declarations.

“…In the same spirit, a software tool for decision-support for energy savings and emissions trading in industrial organizations is outlined by Marques and Neves-Silva (2015). The tool was developed to provide decision-support for: (i) operational phase of the production plant, for responding to energy consumption deviations that require an immediate reaction to restore normal situation and (ii) plant retrofit or production planning phases that require process reconfiguration or taking advantage of the Emission Trading System (ETS).…”
