Abstract

Nowadays renewable energies are in a period of

growth, which favours the birth of numerous researches like, for

example, this study about the analysis of the optimal location of

a biomass power plant in the province of Granada (Spain).

So, the study will be developed using Geographic Information

System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) according

to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). And the main target

will be to determine the welcome capacity of the territory to this

type of plants.
