Abstract	For bio-fuel to be a suitable substitute for fossil fuels, its sustainability as a fuel has to be established. This translates to establishing that bio-fuels have superior environmental benefits while being economically competitive with fossil fuel, and that they can be produced in sufficient quantities to satisfy the existing energy demand while providing a net energy gain over the energy sources used in producing them. As an integrated systems approach, sustainable development (SD) framework methodology has been proposed and employed to address these issues. most sustainability studies have been concerned only with the environmental impact, while this methodology ensures SD of a process not with respect to just environmental impact, resource consumption but also with respect to societal and economic impacts. moreover, it allows the user to decide what should be sustained and how to make such a decision. This methodology starts with the prioritization of the sustainability metrics (health and safety, economic, ecological and social components). Then the alternatives are subjected to a pair-wise comparison with respect to each SD indicator and prioritized depending on their performance. The SD indicator priority score and each individual alternative’s performance score together are used to determine the most sustainable alternative. The feasibility and effectiveness of this methodology has been demonstrated by identifying the most sustainable bio-diesel process system from a set of alternatives.
