Diversification of gas sources to improve security of supply using an integrated Multiple Criteria Decision Making approach

A robust and resilient gas network is crucial for ensuring supply security and economic growth, which can be achieved by having a diverse, cost-efficient, and sustainable gas supply. This study highlights the importance of natural gas and natural gas networks in a low-carbon future and examines the...
