AB  - Currently, solid waste management strategies in Havana are outdated. This paper 
      aimed to select the most suitable alternative for integrating material recovery 
      facilities (MRF) with waste-to-energy technologies in the city of Havana, Cuba. 
      Seven scenarios were considered: combustion, gasification, and hydrothermal 
      carbonization (HTC) with and without carbon capture, and anaerobic digestion 
      (AD). The selection was based on environmental, techno-economic, and social 
      parameters using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) as a multi-criteria 
      decision-making tool (MCDM). The MCDM-AHP accounted for qualitative criteria 
      (based on experts' judgments) and quantitative (based on Aspen Plus simulation 
      models). From the MRF, 63% of the input recyclable materials were recovered, 
      representing an energy saving of 256 kW-h/t(MSW). The AHP results showed that 
      environmental criteria had the highest priority, resulting in ~63% and ~73% 
      higher than social and techno-economic criteria, respectively. Likewise, from the 
      techno-economic, environmental, and social sub-criteria analysis, investment 
      risk, pollution, and work safety had the major concern compared with the other 
      sub-criteria levels. Overall, MRF+AD was the most suitable scenario (21% 
      preference) for treating Havana's municipal solid waste (MSW), followed by 
      combustion and gasification with carbon capture, respectively. This study 
      confirms that AD is a preference option for emerging economies like Cuba, mainly 
      due to low environmental pollution, high social acceptance, and financial 
      stability in the long term.
