Abstract

Net Zero stands as a crucial climate change metric and a significant stride towards accomplishing global carbon emission reduction targets. Carbon emissions, emanating are the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to human activities, underscore the urgency for action. Clean energy, characterized by its minimal environmental impact during production and usage, particularly in low greenhouse gas emissions, emerges as a pivotal solution in this trajectory. Hence, the advancement and application of clean energy technologies are paramount in the pursuit of global carbon emission reduction objectives and combatting climate change challenges. This study delves into the field of clean energy and carbon emissions, 461 articles in the Web of Science (WoS) database were analyzed. The findings from scientific metrology indicate a pronounced academic interest in clean energy and carbon emission discourse. Notably, the United. States leads to research contributions, closely followed by China. The publication sources mirror the interdisciplinary essence of the research domain, while key research themes encompass aspects such as consumption, energy utilization, and carbon emissions, among others. Research trends emphasize a concentrated exploration of decomposition strategies and CO2 emissions as pivotal focal points. In essence, a demand persists for enhanced scholarly investigations about climate change and ecological footprints, underlining many intricate considerations and a vast expanse for future developments.
