BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL PUBLICATIONS ON MANAGEMENT, TRENDS, ENERGY, AND THE INNOVATION IMPACT OF GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION

Abstract

THE AIM OF THIS BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS WAS TO EVALUATE THE EVOLUTION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN HYDROGEN, FOCUSING ON GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION, STORAGE, AND UTILIZATION. ARTICLES FROM PROMINENT DATABASES WERE ANALYZED, REVEALING A STRONG EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABLE HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH KEYWORDS LIKE “HYDROGEN PRODUCTION”, “GREEN HYDROGEN”, AND “SOLAR POWER GENERATION”. MATURE RESEARCH AREAS INCLUDE PRODUCTION METHODS AND ELECTROLYSIS, WHILE EMERGING TOPICS SUCH AS ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND POLICY ARE GAINING TRACTION. THE MOST-CITED PAPERS, FROM ENERGY CONVERSION AND MANAGEMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY, COVER TECHNO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENTS AND CASE STUDIES ON DEPLOYING HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES. KEY FINDINGS HIGHLIGHT THE VARIABILITY OF THE LEVELIZED COST OF HYDROGEN (LCOH) ACROSS TECHNOLOGIES AND REGIONS. DEEP LEARNING APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM-BASED FORECASTING AND EXPLAINABLE AI MODELS, ARE TRANSFORMING PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION, WHILE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA) EMPHASIZES RENEWABLE ENERGY’S ROLE IN REDUCING CARBON INTENSITY AND RESOURCE CONSUMPTION. DIVERSE STRATEGIES, SUCH AS FISCAL INCENTIVES FOR WIND ENERGY AND USE OF URBAN WASTE, UNDERLINE THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL SOLUTIONS. THIS ANALYSIS REFLECTS THE RAPID GROWTH OF HYDROGEN RESEARCH, DRIVEN BY INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AND INNOVATIONS IN SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION, STORAGE, AND OPTIMIZATION. IT IS HOPED THAT THIS PAPER WILL HELP TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THE CURRENT AND FUTURE UNDERSTANDING OF GREEN HYDROGEN. © 2024 BY THE AUTHORS.
