Project development methodologies applied to capital projects focused on non-renewable and renewable energy sources: bibliometric analysis

Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate the main results of bibliometric analysis related to current publications that disclose the energy transition from fossil sources, primarily natural gas, to renewable sources. It also covers publications involving the production of gaseous fuels such as biogas, biomethane, synthetic natural gas, and synthesis gas derived from biomass. Additionally, it explores how these topics relate to recent economic organization concepts, such as Circular Economy, Industrial Ecology, Short Supply Chain, etc. Notably, the article presents methodologies from a technical, economic, and financial perspective for the development of capital projects in this sector. These methodologies are widely used in academic research and development but may not necessarily align with established market practices.
