Abstract: Humanity has undertaken actions to decarbonize the main CO 2 -emitting industries, such as the energy industry. The solution to this problem has been to use renewable energy sources, with positive results in recent years. The objective of the present research was to analyze the scientific advances produced in research on renewable energy and energy production globally during the years 2019 and 2023. The purpose was to determine the current status and future trends in renewable energies in order to contribute to the scientific community by identifying potential risks and encouraging collaboration between authors, institutions, and countries. A bibliometric analysis was performed in the Scopus database using the keywords “renewable energies” and “energy production” within a search equation with a time limit of 2019 and 2023. Keyword co-occurrence and collaboration between authors and countries were performed with VOS Viewer software. It was determined, using per capita research analysis, that the leaders in this research were Cyprus, Denmark, Qatar, Norway, and Ireland. The leading institutions in this field of research are the Technical University of Denmark; Aalborg University; and the Ministry of Education, China. The predominant research topics were energy, engineering, and environmental sciences, related to energy sources such as biomass, hydrogen, or wave energy. The results described here have the potential to contribute to the scientific community, stimulating new research and identifying new needs in the existing literature.
