Green Energy Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean (2020–2024): A Bibliometric Mapping of Research Themes

The present study maps 308 peer reviewed publications on green energy entrepreneurship and innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2020 to 2024. Using a harmonized keyword strategy and standard bibliometric mapping, it identifies a clear energy center around renewable energy, solar and wind, hydrogen, energy storage, and power system integration within a frame of sustainability, climate, and circular economy. A three-field view linking topics, countries, and affiliations highlights a focused set of university hubs, with Brazil leading output and Mexico and Colombia as steady partners connected to Spain and Portugal. The thematic map places energy storage and business models near the center as bridges to market uptake, while energy transition and energy sources act as basic anchors and specialized lines remain in niche areas. Taken together, the results offer a practical path to align research, regulation, and investment so that storage and sound business models, supported by coordinated hubs and fit for purpose policy and finance, help move green energy from pilots to wider adoption across the region.
