“…Temporal change analysis is used to update the efficiency of alternatives in the most recent period under study. The same temporal extension was used by W ątróbski [30] in the PROMETHEE method, when considering the problem of consumption of alternative fuels in road transport. Wen et al [27] used the Best-Worst method and TOPSIS to select heating systems for residential buildings.…”

“…These are the problems of selecting an investment portfolio based on renewable energy [40], assessing the energy systems of European countries [41] and assessing the energy security of OECD countries [18]. In addition, one study examines thermal energy and the choice of heating systems for residential buildings [27], as well as the assessment of the use of alternative fuels in road transport [30]. This indicates the need to develop a temporal and dynamic approach to problems related to energy, and in particular renewable energy.…”

“…Therefore, in recent years there has been a visible development of a new MCDM trend called temporal MCDM (TMCDM). Temporal methods, apart from the classic assessment of the considered alternatives, also allow for accurate capture of the dynamics of changes in outcomes over time and translate them into an easy-to-interpret result [30]. The same assumptions apply to DMCDM methods because they also assume changes over time.…”

Due to the environmental policy adopted by the European Union (EU), EU countries are obliged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They reduce emissions largely through the energy transformation and switching to renewable energy sources (RES). Therefore, it is important to assess the progress of the energy transformation of individual EU countries. This is related to the aim of the article, which is a temporal analysis of the energy transformation process towards the transition to RES and reducing the use of fossil fuels in energy production. To achieve this goal, a new Temporal/Dynamic Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (T/DMCDM) method called Temporal PROSA was developed, based on the PROMETHEE and PROSA family of methods. The Temporal PROSA method, unlike many other T/DMCDM methods, enables the aggregation of data from many periods into a single final assessment, as well as the direct transfer of information from the examined periods to the overall result. As a result of the research, EU countries that dominated in terms of progress in energy transformation towards RES in the years 2004–2021were identified. Based on the data and methodology used, it was indicated that these countries are primarily Sweden and Portugal, and recently also Denmark and Finland. On the other hand, countries such as Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Luxembourg, and Poland made the least progress between 2004 and 2021.

The aim of this review is to understand the progress in waste material management through pyrolysis to produce eco-energy. The growing demand for energy, combined with the depletion of traditional fossil fuels and their contribution to environmental problems, has led to the search for waste-to-energy technologies in pursuit of carbon neutrality. While municipal residues are only part of the waste management problem, the impact of discarded plastics on the environment and landfills is significant. Plastics not only take centuries to decompose, but also seriously pollute the oceans. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that allows for the thermal decomposition of waste in the absence of oxygen. There are several types of pyrolytic reactors, including batch and continuous ones. Batch reactors are preferred to process polymeric waste, with studies highlighting the importance of optimizing parameters, i.e., type of feedstock, heating rate, and pyrolysis temperature. Moreover, the choice of reactor type can influence the yield and structure of the final compounds. Furthermore, various studies have highlighted the gas heating value obtained through waste pyrolysis and how the composition of the liquid fraction is influenced by the type of polyethylene used. Though scientific interest in pyrolysis is remarkable, as publications have increased in recent years, kinetics studies are scarce. Overall, pyrolysis is a promising technique for managing waste materials to produce energy. Ongoing research and development in this area offer significant potential for improving the sustainability of waste management systems.
