“…The Chinese Academy of Sciences is an institution with a high level of the scientific production of China. Moreover, Germany is the second country in the rank and is the largest biogas producer in the world [32,33]. In same context, the importance and role of biogas in energy production is growing in countries Europe, this can be seen in the case of promote of renewable energies by guaranteed refund prices or emission trading systems [34].…”

“…There is a large volume of published studies describing the importance of biogas, the Figure 12 shows the evolutions of publications of biogas, the period between 1980 and 1990 was characterized by a low number of publications (1.86%), during a second period, between 1991 and 2005 with a mean < 1% publications per year, and the more productive period between 2006 and 2019 with 89.71% of the growth of publications of biogas. One possible reason for this occurrence might be attributed to the increased interest in the development of renewable energy [32].…”

There is a great interest in biofuels production as an alternative and potentially renewable fuel. This study analyzed the rate of scientific publications related to the biofuels such as biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, biohydrogen and wood pellets using the Logistic and Gompertz models to quantitatively describe the publications growth. The models showed fit to the biofuels growth data as indicated by the determination coefficient. China was the most productive country with publications of biohydrogen, bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas. Overall, research on the topic of biofuels, biohydrogen and bioethanol are increasing with a rate of publications greater than 0.26 years-1. From 2003 there was growth in the rate of publications of each biofuel evaluated in this work.

“…The biomethane field is receiving a rising number of papers and scientific interest, necessitating the development of a quantitative method to examine scientific output and study trends in this field. The bibliometric analysis is a quantitative analysis to assess the amount of research work in a topic [26][27][28].…”

The emission of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels has allowed the development of biofuels such as biomethane. The aim of this research was to explore the characteristics of biomethane literature from 1978 to 2020 based on the database of Scopus and its implications using indicators bibliometrics. The information in the database was analyzed through the Gompertz model to determine the specific growth rate over the years. Also, maps were elaborated with the VOSviewer software to show in a visual way the collaboration between authors and keywords related to the topic of study. Documents were examined in a variety of aspects of the publication characteristics such as document type, language, authorship, countries, institutions, journals, high-cited papers. Results showed that the evolution of publications grew exponentially from 2006 to 2020, the specific speed of growth determined with the Gompertz model was 0.4 0.095 years -1 (𝑅 2 >0.99). 52% of publications are concentrated in five countries (Italy, India, China, the United States and Spain). Bioresource Technology is the journal with the highest number of publications and citations, the authors publish in quartile 1 and 2 journals. The biomethane topic has a growing number of publications and citations due to the collaboration between researchers from different countries. The present work can be contrasted with the analysis of bibliographic indicators with other databases to determine the level of collaboration with other journals with different index.
