Abstract

The review provides the results of the analysis of research publications in the field of energy economy on a global scale. The review aims to test three hypotheses and build and analyze the main trend lines and clusters to determine the direction of movement of new knowledge in the energy economy research. This review delves into the multifaceted nature of energy transitions, highlighting the pivotal role of policy frameworks, financial instruments, and technological innovation. By examining the socio-economic implications of renewable energy deployment and addressing the challenges associated with energy storage and grid integration, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable energy development. The review used scientometric, correlation, and bibliometric methods of analysis. Artificial Intelligence was used to process 411,396 units of information (a special prompt was created). There is a new scientific result: (a) research hypotheses 1 and 3 were accepted, research Hypothesis 2 was rejected; (b) new trend lines showed the directions where the global energy economy is heading; (c) new clusters showed the top five leading countries and top 10 keywords in the field of energy economy; (d) leading journals in the studied area were found. The review indicated an underrepresentation of specialized journals in this field among the top journals. The review also showed that several keywords characterizing the sixth technological paradigm are missing from the top 10 keywords. This result suggests that these research areas were underrepresented in citation-based bibliometric data in energy in 2021–2024. The review is useful to identify promising and problematic areas for future research in the global energy economy.
