Abstract: The development of Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) infrastructure plays a vital role in advancing Indonesia’s national strategy for energy transition and decarbonization. However, selecting the most appropriate type of HRS presents a significant challenge, particularly in the absence of established national standards for site selection. This study addresses that gap by identifying the most relevant and practical evaluation criteria through a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach, integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). To ensure reliability, expert input was gathered from professionals in the energy and automotive sectors to assess the criteria and alternatives. The analysis revealed that economic considerations are the most influential, followed closely by Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental (HSSE) factors. Based on the TOPSIS results, the Mobile HRS emerged as the most favorable alternative, making it a strategic choice for initiating hydrogen infrastructure deployment in Indonesia.
