AB  - Burkina Faso's agricultural and industrial sectors are sources of biomass 
      production which are not well tapped. However, the exact quantities available and 
      mobilizable with connection to recovery technologies are not available in the 
      literature. Also, there is very little data on the criteria for the optimal 
      selection of the biomasses to be valorized. In this article, quantification of 
      the main biomasses produced in Burkina Faso has been carried out. Additionally, 
      sustainable biomass selection criteria have been established. A hybrid 
      (AHP-TOPSIS) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach was used to 
      prioritize suitable biomass resources based on defined criteria for bioenergy 
      production. Based on expert opinions and an in-depth review of the literature, 
      six main biomass selection criteria were established: i) biomass availability and 
      accessibility, ii) competitive uses, iii) pollution potential related to residue 
      accumulation, iv) economic impact, v) biomass energy content, and vi) 
      availability of appropriate biomass conversion technologies. Moreover, five 
      potential biomasses were investigated, including cotton stalks, rice husks, 
      cashew nutshells, mango peels, and mango pits. The results of the evaluation 
      showed that cotton stalks were the best option.
