The green energy transition in Germany: a bibliometric study

Summary/Abstract: The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant shift toward green energy solutions, with Germany leading the way in the transition to renewable energy through its Energiewende initiative. This topic is of great importance as it offers valuable insights for other countries in the European Union and worldwide seeking sustainable and environmen- tally friendly alternatives for their energy sectors.This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of Germany’s green energy transition, focusing on the techno- logical advancements, strategic management, and country economics that drive this transformation.Utilising a bibliometric study research method, the paper analyses data from scientific publications in the Scopus da- tabase and employs VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software to develops bibliometric maps of keyword co-occurrences.The analysis reveals the main changes in Germany’s green energy transition, uncovering the meaning and important structures of keywords, suggesting new directions for re- search, and pointing out strategies based on the technologi- cal transition toward renewable energy sources and green job creation.By integrating sustainable development and technological changes, this study contributes to the understanding of green energy transition strategies and their impact on adjacent do- mains, offering valuable insights for business and society.Furthermore, the assessment of Germany’s green energy transition serves as a valuable example for governments and policymakers in other countries, helping them to learn from Germany’s experience and implement similar strategies in their energy sectors. The full paper will discuss the limita- tions of the paper and potential directions for future research.
