AB This article presents a selection of criteria and options for the assessment of clean air energy technologies, based on the Analysis and Synthesis of Parameters using the Information Deficiency Method. In order to present an evaluation of clean air technologies, a number of options featuring some of the characteristics measured by the selected sustainability indicators are taken into consideration. For each option under consideration, the sustainability indicators are defined in order to verify their rating with respect to the specific indicator and also to introduce these data to obtain a generalized index of sustainability that rates all options.<br>
The multi-criteria evaluation of clean air technologies is an exercise to illustrate the potential of the analysis of complex systems. Every energy system under consideration is an entity in itself, defined by the respective number of parameters, which are deterministically related according to physical laws describing individual processes in the system. The sustainability indicators take into account the economic, environmental, resource, and social aspects of the system under consideration.
