AB  - Due to population growth and the expansion of different industries, Iran is 
      confronted with the issue of energy and hydrogen generation for various sectors. 
      According to research, Iran has much potential for renewable energy sources such 
      as wind and solar. Renewable energy is critical for meeting the needs of various 
      industries by producing energy and hydrogen. As a result, this study identified 
      and analyzed development plans for hydrogen production from Iran's renewable 
      energies using SWOT analysis and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) 
      techniques. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) approach was 
      used to weigh the criteria and sub-criteria, and power generation cost was 
      identified as the most critical sub-criteria. Then, the identified strategies 
      were ranked using the gray additive ratio assessment (ARAS-Gray) method. 
      Following that, the gray technique for order of preference by similarity to the 
      ideal solution (TOPSIS-G), the gray complex proportional assessment (COPRAS-G), 
      and the gray simple additive weighting (SAW-G) techniques were used to validate 
      the results. The finding revealed that the strategy of cooperation and 
      coordination between energy investing companies and various industries in Iran to 
      develop hydrogen projects at a minimum cost was recognized as the most efficient 
      strategy in all procedures. As a result, with the cooperation and coordination of 
      companies and various industries in Iran, clean energy and fuel can be produced 
      at a low cost using renewable sources. By implementing this strategy, the 
      fluctuations in energy production caused by renewable sources will be eliminated, 
      and the energy and hydrogen requirements of various industries will be met.
