AB  - Recent developments in biogas upgradation have opened new horizons for its 
      utilisation because upgradation technologies are fully developed and commercially 
      available. However, the implementation of biogas upgrading technologies is not at 
      the scale required to harness the full potential of biogas. Therefore, it is 
      requisite to adopt a multicriteria decision-making methodology (MCDM) to select 
      the most appropriate biogas up-gradation technology as each technology has its 
      own set of benefits and downside. In this multifaceted scenario, the analytical 
      hierarchy Process (AHP), one of the most preferred MCDM methods in rational 
      decision-making, is applied in this study to select the most appropriate biogas 
      upgrading technology. The broader recognition of AHP is its provision for 
      converting multifaceted problems into a simple hierarchy. The research results 
      reveal that biogas up-gradation technologies based on water scrubbing and 
      membrane separation rank first and second among the alternatives. This research 
      will show a direction to researchers and the MCDM community involved in biogas 
      upgradation technologies on a broader scale.
