In the face of the rapid increase of carbon emissions, climate warming, and an epidemic situation, low-carbon economy is attracting growing attention. Using bibliometric analysis and machine learning methods, the paper conducts a systematic review in the low-carbon economy. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database, 1433 articles from 1990 to 2021 were selected for review. We find that the trajectories of the low-carbon economy research can be divided into four phases: exploration, fermentation, rising, and flourishing. The low-carbon economy research can be categorized into five clusters: low-carbon energy policy, carbon footprint and carbon trading, energy-economy-environment system, energy efficiency and its decomposition, and carbon emission drivers. The findings of this review study shed light on the role and effects of low-carbon economic policies on energy futures.
面对碳排放的快速增长、气候变暖以及疫情形势，低碳经济正受到越来越多的关注。本文运用文献计量分析和机器学习方法，对低碳经济进行了系统综述。利用科学引文索引核心合集数据库，选取了1990年至2021年的1433篇文章进行综述。我们发现，低碳经济研究轨迹可分为四个阶段：探索、发酵、上升和繁荣。低碳经济研究可分为五个聚类：低碳能源政策、碳足迹与碳交易、能源-经济-环境系统、能源效率及其分解以及碳排放驱动因素。本综述研究结果揭示了低碳经济政策对能源未来的作用和影响。
