Abstract
Renewable energy attains a considerable academic attention because of its well-evident role in combating global warming and mitigate climate change. The present study reports a bibliometric analysis of green energy research development in India and the world between 2000 and 2020 and provides quantitative analysis and statistics on the trends of publications, explores the structure of established networks and trends in India and the world. Data is retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) and VOSViewer software is used to graph the bibliographic documents. The findings revealed that publications around this area have been enhanced considerably in the last two decades. In terms of publications contribution, India contributed 5.8%. Globally, 181 countries are involved in green energy research and India ranks fifth in terms of publication production. Renewable Energy, Renewable Energy Resources, Climate Change, and Carbon Emissions, remains the most critical keywords in the period 2000 to 2020. There was a significant increase in the search for keywords after 2014 precisely because of the massive energy crisis and environmental protection campaigns. Among the top 1000 best-performing organizations around the world, India accounted for 28 institutions and the Indian Institute of Technology System IIT System ranked third (828 publications) in the World Ranking. The most explored research area has been Energy Fuels with 43.35% which correlated to the fact that there is increased emphasis on legislation on climate change abatement and public and industry awareness of clean fossil energy options.
