Abstract

The present study deals with the identification of prominent areas and trends in the adoption of green energy and financial inclusion using a systematic study of the literature and bibliometric analysis. A sample of 703 studies has been undertaken from the Scopus database to analyse current research endeavours towards the adoption of green energy and financial inclusion between 1992 and early 2024, using a bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric tools including Bibliometrix®, Biblioshiny, and VOSviewer were used to evaluate the publication pattern, keyword co-occurrence, citation structures, collaboration networks and thematic clusters to meet the objectives of this paper. The results indicate that although research endeavours on green energy adoption and financial inclusion have been conducted globally, a lack of collaborative work occurs within country borders, particularly amongst researchers from emerging and developed nations. This study further revealed that previous literature has mainly focused on aspects of economic and environmental sustainability and carbon emission reduction. Despite their significant policy relevance. issues such as barriers to green energy adoption and the role of financial inclusion in overcoming these challenges have received comparatively less attention being paid. The study of the first kind reviews maps different facets of green energy adoption and financial inclusion through a systematic study of literature review and bibliometric analysis. This study aims not only to contribute to existing knowledge but also to identify gaps that require further investigation.
