Abstract

Abstract As renewable energy demand grows, different sectors (especially energy and household) face increasing fuel shortages. Increasing interest in alternative biomass for heat production also increases the need to develop appropriate combustion technologies. This paper investigates studies carried out in the context of renewable energy. The main objectives of the article are to identify the trends between alternative biomass types and combustion processes and to find binding keywords between the topics mentioned. Two bibliometric methods – performance analysis and science mapping analysis – are applied to analyse scientific literature related to the specific application from the Scopus database. Performance analysis results show that the number of publications and citations on using alternative biomass in energy is increasing annually. The most significant number of publications in terms of biomass types are municipal solid waste and algae, while in terms of combustion technologies, it is about direct combustion and gasification. According to the results of scientific mapping analysis, algae has a strong link to climate change and sustainability issues.

替代生物质类型和生物质燃烧技术的文献计量学分析

随着可再生能源需求的增长，不同部门(特别是能源和家庭)面临着日益严重的燃料短缺问题。人们对替代生物质产热的兴趣日益增加，也增加了开发适当燃烧技术的需要。本文调查了在可再生能源背景下进行的研究。本文的主要目标是确定替代生物质类型和燃烧过程之间的趋势，并找到所提到的主题之间的结合关键词。应用两种文献计量学方法——绩效分析和科学映射分析——分析了Scopus数据库中与特定应用相关的科学文献。性能分析结果表明，使用替代生物质能源的出版物和引用数量每年都在增加。就生物质类型而言，出版物数量最多的是城市固体废物和藻类，而就燃烧技术而言，则是直接燃烧和气化。根据科学制图分析的结果，藻类与气候变化和可持续性问题有着密切的联系。
