“…Collaboration between institutions can significantly impact the progress of research in the area of fermentation for hydrogen production, as shown by the bibliometric analysis that highlights, among other aspects, collaboration agreements between different institutions and significant partnerships [28,52,54,58]. These collaborative networks are valuable for accumulating knowledge and resources, bringing a diversity of approaches to the field, where different institutions can contribute with specific focuses, from microbiology to energy policies, enriching research by addressing hydrogen production from various perspectives [214][215][216][217]. A bibliometric review, evaluating many articles, suggests that contributions from multiple institutions can broaden the database available for analysis, providing a more comprehensive view of the current state and trends in research [52,54,55].…”

Fermentation is an oxygen-free biological process that produces hydrogen, a clean, renewable energy source with the potential to power a low-carbon economy. Bibliometric analysis is crucial in academic research to evaluate scientific production, identify trends and contributors, and map the development of a field, providing valuable information to guide researchers and promote scientific innovation. This review provides an advanced bibliometric analysis and a future perspective on fermentation for hydrogen production. By searching WoS, we evaluated and refined 62,087 articles to 4493 articles. This allowed us to identify the most important journals, countries, institutions, and authors in the field. In addition, the ten most cited articles and the dominant research areas were identified. A keyword analysis revealed five research clusters that illustrate where research is progressing. The outlook indicates that a deeper understanding of microbiology and support from energy policy will drive the development of hydrogen from fermentation.

“…The deployment of renewable energy has contributed significantly to global sustainability, and several nations have released ambitious carbon-neutral targets by 2050 [3,4]. In addition to environmental thinking, renewable energy harvesting alongside smart grids also explores the opportunity for cost-effective power production and distribution, which could be attributed to benefits including no supply limitations, better location matching of energy supply and demand, decreasing transmission and distribution losses, and reducing the requirement for cost-intensive grid upgrades [5]. Thus, transitioning to renewable energy and smart grids could be the trend of future energy system evolution.…”

The rapid growth of distributed renewable energy penetration is promoting the evolution of the energy system toward decentralization and decentralized and digitized smart grids. This study was based on energy blockchain, and developed a dual-biding mechanism based on the real-time energy surplus and demand in the local smart grid, which is expected to enable reliable, affordable, and clean energy supply in smart communities. In the proposed system, economic benefits could be achieved by replacing fossil-fuel-based electricity with the high penetration of affordable solar PV electricity. The reduction of energy surplus realized by distributed energy production and P2P energy trading, within the smart grid results in less transmission loss and lower requirements for costly upgrading of existing grids. By adopting energy blockchain and smart contract technologies, energy secure trading with a low risk of privacy leakage could be accommodated. The prototype is examined through a case study, and the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed mechanism are further validated by scenario analysis.

Meeting climate targets requires widespread deployment of low-carbon technologies such as distributed photovoltaics, heat pumps and electric vehicles. Without mitigating actions, changing power flows associated with these technologies would adversely impact some local networks. The extent of these impacts, and the optimal means of avoiding them, remains unclear. Here we use local-level data and network simulation to estimate variation in future network upgrade costs in over 40,000 geographical regions comprising all of Great Britain. We find that costs vary substantially between localities, and are typically highest in urban areas, and areas with highest deployment of heat pumps and electric vehicles. We estimate reductions in required upgrades associated with local flexibility, which vary substantially between localities. We show that using geographically disaggregated data to inform flexibility deployment across the country could reduce network upgrade costs by hundreds of millions of pounds relative to an approach that treats localities as homogeneous.
