Abstract
Energy transition has become the agenda of many countries worldwide. The Indonesian government continues encouraging renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil-based energy and achieve the Net Zero Emission (NZE) target by 2030. In Indonesia, many types of renewable energy are being pursued, including solar, bioenergy, hydropower, geothermal, wind, and sea. However, only some studies provide an overview of renewable energy research maps in Indonesia based on research literature studies on energy clusters. This study aims to map trends in the literature on renewable energy in Indonesia using a quantitative review technique called bibliometric analysis. The data was retrieved from the Scopus database and was analyzed using the VOSviewer software. Only 760 documents, including 229 articles and 531 paper conferences, and 59 keywords met the threshold were examined from 1,390 documents. The documents are classified into 6 clusters, which consist of Bio Energy with 332 documents, Solar with 235 documents, Wind with 73 documents, Hydro with 56 documents, Geothermal with 33 documents, and Ocean with 31 documents. The result of this study shows how far research on renewable energy, as well as the most prevalent types of clusters studied in Indonesia, has progressed over time. Furthermore, this study provides an overview of the most researched renewable energy sector to assist policymakers in prioritizing the renewable energy sector, which has the potential to be developed on a larger scale in Indonesia.
