Abstract

The last 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow through United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, reaffirmed for one more time the increased global concern for human-induced climate change and its adverse consequences. The reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the imperative targets of global commitments. The implementation of a strategy of a low-carbon energy transition and enhancement of decarbonization of lignite in crucial sectors such as the electricity production-supply sector, heating industry, and transport sector could significantly contribute. The study attempts to illustrate the international academic research in the field of decarbonization especially of lignite avoidance as a raw fuel in the energy supply sector and the challenges of the energy transition. Concretely, attempts to review scientific literature are achieved by the use and analysis of specific terms through bibliometric analysis using the software VOSviewer. For this purpose, the scientific data were attracted from the Scopus.com database, limited to the time frame of 2010–2022. The study results highlight the limited engagement of the scientific community with issues of the post-lignite period. The absence of wider academic attention on the decarbonization process in the framework of the energy transition is an important point of critique and at the same time the main point of the study’s contribution to further research.
