Bibliometric Analysis of Global Trends around Hydrogen Production Based on the Scopus Database in the Period 2011–2021
Dec 2022
Publication
Given the increase in population and energy demand worldwide alternative methods have been adopted for the production of hydrogen as a clean energy source. This energy offers an alternative energy source due to its high energy content and without emissions to the environment. In this bibliometric analysis of energy production using electrolysis and taking into account the different forms of energy production. In this analysis it was possible to evaluate the research trends based on the literature in the Scopus database during the years 2011–2021. The results showed a growing interest in hydrogen production from electrolysis and other mechanisms with China being the country with the highest number of publications and the United States TOP in citations. The trend shows that during the first four years of this study (2011–2014) the average number of publications was 74 articles per year from 2015 to 2021 where the growth is an average of 209 articles the journal that published the most on this topic is Applied Energy followed by Energy contributing with almost 33% in the research area. Lastly the keyword analysis identified six important research points for future discussions which we have termed clusters. The study concludes that new perspectives on clean hydrogen energy generation environmental impacts and social acceptance could contribute to the positive evolution of the hydrogen energy industry.
Impact of Green Hydrogen on Climate Change in Peru: An Analysis of Perception, Policies, and Cooperation
Oct 2024
Publication
This research analyzed the impact of green hydrogen (GH) on the dynamics of combating climate change (CC) in Peru for the year 2024 contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 7 focused on affordable and clean energy. The study quantitative and non-experimental in nature used a cross-sectional design and focused on a sample composed of public and private sector officials energy experts and academics evaluating their perception and knowledge about GH and its application in climate policies. The data collection instrument showed good internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.793. The results revealed that although the adoption of GH is in its early stages it is already considered a vital component in national CC mitigation strategies. A medium positive correlation was identified using the Spearman coefficient (0.418) between GH usage and the effectiveness of mitigation policies as well as its capacity to influence public awareness and promote interinstitutional cooperation. Furthermore it was concluded that the success of GH largely depends on the strengthening of regulatory frameworks investment in infrastructure and the promotion of strategic alliances to facilitate its integration into the national energy matrix. These findings highlight the importance of continuing to develop public policies that promote the use of GH ensuring its sustainability and effectiveness in the fight against climate change in Peru.
