Abstract: This study analyzes the trends, influential contributions, and research directions in environmental economics within the energy sector from 2004 to 2024. Employing a bibliometric and systematic literature review approach, it examines 237 articles, identifying key themes such as renewable energy adoption, sustainable development, and energy efficiency. The analysis highlights the growing focus on regulatory impacts, financing renewable energy, and addressing challenges like energy poverty. Major contributors and journals in the field, as well as citation trends, are explored, with a particular emphasis on top articles and influential authors. Emerging research clusters include energy policy frameworks, the role of renewable resources, and the integration of green technologies. The study provides insights into the evolving research landscape, emphasizing the importance of policy coherence, innovation, and global collaboration in addressing environmental sustainability. It suggests future research opportunities in scaling green technologies, fintech's role in sustainability, and the development of regulatory frameworks for equitable energy transitions.
