Abstract: We apply the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions to the assessment of biogas technology in rural areas of Brazil. Two case studies are discussed in detail and the results compared with a more conventional method of project appraisal. On the computational side, it is shown how local computation and dimensionality reduction, in cases where certain relations hold between variables, can increase efficiency.
