The Green Deal Policy for Renewable Energy: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The industry attention to the environment has been reducing lately, leading to irreversible climate change, reaching the limit of mining, and critical indicators of СО2 emissions. That is why the EU has launched a new Green Policy which includes strategic directions for energy efficiency and which is expected to restore biodiversity and slow down the pace of climate change. Thus, on December 11, 2019, there was held the presentation of the “European Green Course”, the main targets of which are to increase the level of energy saving by creating closed cycles in the economy; to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by 2050; to form biodiversity and climate neutrality. Accordingly, countries that accept the terms of the green deal policy need to review all aspects of their economy, from energy production to food consumption, from industry to transport and construction. The purpose of the article is to analyse publications in order to identify public’s awareness of radical changes in economic and ecological spheres. The article provides a bibliometric analysis of research in the field of green deal policy, energy conservation and energy efficiency through the introduction of renewable energy sources. The authors selected 337 papers which were published in 1999-2019. Scopus provided the database for analysis. By means of VOSviewer the results of bibliometric analyses were visualized in a definitions map. It allowed identifying six clusters that combine 131 terms. As a result of the research, the connection between the terms – renewable energy sources and energy saving – was revealed with the help of the constructed bibliographic map.

Comparative Analysis of Innovative Development Strategies of Fuel and Energy Complex of Ukraine and the EU Countries: International Experience

“…Haines and Scheelbeek (2020) see the Green Deal as improving the environment and reducing harmful emissions and will improve the health of European citizens. Ziabina and Pimonenko (2020) conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications to identify public awareness of future radical economic and energy changes. Krykhtina et al (2021) studied the process of Ukraine's accession to the European Green Deal and identified priority areas of this cooperation.…”

“…Ziabina Ye. and Pimonenko T. [35] conducted a bibliometric analysis to gauge public awareness of significant shifts in the economic and ecological realms. Their article presents a bibliometric analysis of research pertaining to green deal policies, energy conservation, and the promotion of energy efficiency through the integration of renewable energy sources.…”

Renewable Energy Integration for Sustainable Economic Growth: Insights and Challenges via Bibliometric Analysis

“…Moreover, scholars have emphasized the critical importance of assessing the environmental, economic, and social implications of renewable energy technologies to gauge their effectiveness in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, combating climate change, and fostering sustainable development [2][3][4]. Furthermore, it is imperative to identify the constraints and challenges that hinder the extensive implementation of renewable energies to formulate efficacious policies and strategies [5,6]. In conclusion, the aforementioned research serves to assist policymakers and stakeholders in making wellinformed decisions on the practical challenges, technological limitations, and infrastructure prerequisites associated with the integration of renewable energy.…”
