Identification and ranking of renewable energy barriers for sustainable development by Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP)

The purpose of this study is to identify and rank the barriers to renewable energy for sustainable development. The present research has a descriptive nature in terms of survey method and an applied structure in terms of purpose. Library and field studies (expert questionnaire) have been used to collect the required data. The statistical population of the study consists of university professors, experts, experts with work experience and research in the field of renewable energy. The statistical sample was selected using purposive sampling method and using snowball sampling technique to 23 people. In the continuation of the research, by reviewing the research background, using past studies and researches as well as the Delphi questionnaire based on the opinion of experts, the factors and costs of marine ecosystem pollutants are identified and They were grouped in different sections. The barriers were then screened and finalized using the Delphi method. Finally, the degree of importance of the factors was determined using fuzzy hierarchical analysis (FAHP). Data were analyzed using MATLAB software.
