“…Determining the location of an energy production plant based on biomass was carried out according to a decision rule, where the MCE was used with an analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The use of these combined techniques is a common methodology employed to determine the installation location of energy production plants [29,33].…”

“…Criteria selection is required for making decisions. Possible alternatives must be quantified and must contribute to the decision-making process [33][34][35]. These criteria may be factors or limiters.…”

“…These criteria may be factors or limiters. A factor is a criterion that negatively or positively affects the possible location for the energy production plant, while a limiter (or exclusion criterion) restricts the location potential, excluding possible installation [33,34].…”

“…The areas considered feasible for the installation of a plant were those without vegetation, meadows, or scrub and were industrial use lands. Urban areas and lands of agricultural use were considered unsuitable because other activities are carried out there that are relevant to society [33,34].…”

Residual biomass is used for energy purposes, such as producing heat and electricity. The potential raw materials are wheat, oat and barley straw, corn stover from the agricultural industry, and wood chips from forest residuals and the wood industry. In Chile about 10 MM t year −1 residues are produced; however, most of these are burned, increasing the greenhouse gas emission. This study evaluated the energy production from the residual biomass in the Araucanía Region of Chile. The optimal location for installing an energy generation plant was determined, according to various conditions, such as the distance from the villages, energy demands, industry location, etc. A multi-criteria evaluation and analytic hierarchy process were performed for determining the optimal location, and a proposal for its installation was created. A total of 19 districts were selected as suitable location that met the requirements for the three scenarios.
