Identify the role of green hydrogen in the global energy transition and mitigating climate change.
Relevance / originality
This is a systematic review work that unites two very popular areas, which are the issues of sustainability and green hydrogen in the context of the global energy transition.
Methodology / approach
Systematic Literature Review (SLR), based on the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews” checklist - PRISMA
Main results
There is an indication of the growth in the number of articles published from 2020, a period that coincides with the year in which the covid-19 pandemic broke out, which increased global concern about sustainability, climate change, dependence on fossil fuels, among
Theoretical / methodological contributions
We found gaps regarding how the transport of hydrogen in gas pipelines can be discussed with the population before being included in the public agenda and explore how green hydrogen contributes to generating technology and innovation environments.
Social / management contributions
The main topics discussed in the context of green hydrogen are pointed out and, consequently, they are the topics that most affect the regions, especially those that are potential producers of this new energy.
