Abstract
Shifting from fossil energy to renewable energy is considered an inevitable trend to limit
greenhouse gas emissions, protect the environment and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In that trend,
many companies globally, especially multinational corporations with great in uence have pioneered the use
of clean energy. The fact that more and more companies are committing to renewable energy and taking
speci c actions to accelerate the transition to clean energy sources is considered a good sign in the joint
efforts of the whole world towards a greener future. In Vietnam, the use of renewable energy in production
and business activities for sustainable development is also increasingly interested by businesses. Recently,
many businesses are interested in taking advantage of renewable energy sources, aiming for environmentally
friendly solutions to create products that meet green standards, increasing competitiveness in the market.
However, the selection of a suitable energy resource for each industrial complex project is not a simple
task as this involve multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this research, the author proposed a
fuzzy multicriteria decision making model (F-MCDM) for sustainable energy source selection for industrial
complex in Vietnam, utilizing Spherical fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (SF-AHP) and Technique for
Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The main contribution of this study is to
propose a Spherical fuzzy MCDM model to support planners and decision makers in the renewable energy
resources evaluation and selection process of industrial complexes development projects in Vietnam. A case
study is also performed to showcase the feasibility of the proposed approach
