Hydrogen Production via SMR with Carbon Capture: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The global energy demand should double by 2030, reaching a peak of 80 to 120 million barrels of oil per day. Therefore, to mitigate climate change and reduce the high demand for oil imports, future energies must be clean (carbon-free), renewable and recyclable. A promising solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and meet future demands for sustainable energy is to use H2 as an energy vector. In the literature, some works involve H2 production via SMR and CO2 capture. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis of this topic is developed to assess its level of maturity and map the publications most adhering to this research line. From the results obtained, it was observed that the focus of the research already has a particular maturity, but there are still many gaps to be addressed and developed.
