N2 - In this study, the multi-criteria analysis model is demonstrated for evaluation and technologies from municipal solid waste (MSW) in City of Johannesburg (CoJ), South Africa. The technologies evaluation and alternation criteria for multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) area characterized by reviewing the literature and consulting experts in the renewable energy and waste management. MCDA was the approach employed by decision makers to make recommendation on technique employed to select the most suitable biogas digester technology for organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMWS) originating from the city's landfills base on scalability, relative cost prices, available, temperature regulation, agitation, ease of construction, operation and maintenance. The result for digester type indicated that the "complete mix, continuously stirred anaerobic digester" (CSAD) was preferred with 79% preference to other anaerobic digester technologies for energy recovery.
