Bibliometric Analysis of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Research: Evolution, Impact, and Future Directions
Journal Title: Challenges in Sustainability - Year 2024, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
This bibliometric analysis offers an in-depth examination of the research trajectory concerning carbon capture and storage (CCS), as documented in Scopus-indexed publications from 1998 to 2024. A marked increase in scholarly output has been observed, reflecting the growing academic and practical interest in CCS technologies as critical tools for mitigating climate change. The analysis identifies significant growth periods following key global climate agreements and technological advancements, underscoring the academic community’s engagement in developing and implementing solutions to reduce emissions. Additionally, periodic fluctuations in publication trends have been detected, which may indicate shifts in funding priorities, research focus, and the advent of competing technologies. The notable peak in 2024 suggests that CCS research has potentially reached a pivotal stage of maturity or has been revitalized in response to recent environmental policies or global events. This analysis emphasizes the need for future research to delve deeper into the evolution of CCS technologies, their integration with renewable energy strategies, and the role of policy and economic factors in shaping the CCS research landscape. Such inquiries are deemed essential for guiding global CCS research and policymaking toward effective and sustainable climate action.
