This groundbreaking study focuses on improving LNG distribution in the challenging Southern Papua and Maluku regions by introducing eco-friendly energy sources. Through the integration of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodologies, optimal locations for LNG terminal hubs were pinpointed. Utilizing the Electre approach with AHP weighting, the study determined that Bintuni Port and Amahai Port were the most suitable locations for LNG terminals in their respective regions. The modeling results, conducted using the LINGO 20.0 application, revealed intricate details about LNG distribution routes. For instance, the Amahai Hub Port Route featured various routes, with the Amahai-Tulehu Hub route standing out with the highest demand of 8,916,828 m³ and 14 ships. On the other hand, the Bintuni Hub Port Route showcased the Hub Port Bintuni-Pamako-Amamapare route with a total demand of 4,760,410 m³ and 8 ships, highlighting the importance of strategic planning in meeting the energy demands of these regions.
