Abstract: The nexus between economic growth and energy consumption is essential in energy economics and economic development literature. The recent urgency in accelerating the decarbonization processes of economies has enhanced relevance to analyzing this empirical relationship in the face of technological advances, regulatory changes, and the expanding uptake of renewable energy technologies worldwide. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the literature on economic growth, energy consumption, and renewable energies in Brazil using clustering as a support tool. Between 1995 and 2022, 177 Energy-Growth, Brazil, and Sustainability studies were published. It was found that China leads the ranking of publications, taking part in 28.84% of the production related to the link between economic growth and consumption of renewable energy in Brazil, followed by Turkey (21.52%) and Brazil (21.31%). The participation of other countries in the literature adds up to 32.29%. Keywords such as “ecological footprint,” “environmental sustainability,” “environmental Kuznets curve,” and “emissions” show how in recent years, the literature has been guided by a discussion related to economic-environmental factors. Another result was that the Granger causality test is a research frontier with the most significant associated strength.
