Abstract

The rising demand for renewable energy sources has fueled interest in converting biomass and organic waste into sustainable bioenergy. This study employs a bibliometric analysis (2013-2023) of publications to assess trends, advancements, and future prospects in this field. The analysis explores seven key research indicators, including publication trends, leading contributors, keyword analysis, and highly cited papers.  We begin with a comprehensive overview of biomass as a renewable energy source and various waste-to-energy technologies.  Employing Scopus and Web of Science databases alongside Biblioshiny and VOSviewer for analysis, the study investigates publication patterns, citation networks, and keyword usage. This systematic approach unveils significant trends in research focus and identifies prominent research actors (countries and institutions). Our findings reveal a significant increase in yearly publications, reflecting the growing global focus on biomass and organic waste conversion. Leading contributors include China, the United States, India, and Germany.  Analysis of keywords identifies commonly used terms like "biofuels," "pyrolysis," and "lignocellulosic biomass." The study concludes by proposing future research directions, emphasizing advanced conversion technologies, integration of renewable energy sources, and innovative modelling techniques.

Abstract

Solar Power Towers (SPTs), as a forefront division of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), have become a promising option for green electricity generation. This paper presents a bibliometric study of global research output in SPTs using data retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases for the period between 2015 and 2024. The 860 documents dataset was mapped using bibliometric tools like VOSviewer and Bibliometrix to examine publication trends, prominent authors, leading institutions, high-output countries, and hot topics of research. The findings illustrate a picture of tremendous growth in publications since 2008 with China, the United States, and Spain as the leading contributors. Heliostat field design, thermal energy storage, receiver efficiency, and system-level optimization are some of the leading research themes. Keyword co-occurrence and co-authorship analysis reveal thematic clustering and changing collaboration patterns, with increasing yet still modest international collaboration. This review presents the current shape and intellectual structure of SPT research, giving a glimpse of its evolutionary trajectory. The findings can help researchers, practitioners, and policymakers identify knowledge gaps and plan future research agendas in the field of solar thermal technologies.
