Abstract

Objective. To map and analyze the development, application, and evolution of knowledge in hydrogen production and sustainable mobility through a bibliometric approach.

Design/Methodology/Approach. Bibliometric tools have been used to achieve the objective, such as citation analysis, identification and mapping of keywords in the literature, and recognition of key players through their performance in the Web of Science (WoS) database. This approach allowed a better understanding of the most active research areas and topics that are currently relevant.

Results/Discussion. Hydrogen production and sustainable mobility together presented a developing knowledge and application area. This area emerged from both bases but presented characteristics that define it as a unique subject. In addition, it was observed that it presents a transversality towards other scientific, technological, and business fields.

Conclusions. Hydrogen production and sustainable mobility are independent knowledge areas that are growing and evolving. However, if analyzed together, they open up a distinctive area that offers crucial challenges for the sustainability and development of the whole world. For this, collaboration and cooperation between agents is essential.

Originality/Value. The research provides an approach to a growing knowledge and application area of interest for the academic, scientific, technological, and business communities. This approach will allow us to focus efforts and leverage resources in developing sustainable hydrogen-based technologies and solutions for the mobility sector.
