الملخص EN

The continued increase in population, the increase in energy demand, the ability of fossil energy sources and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions called for the search for a stable and sustainable supply of energy.

renewable energy plays an important role beyond this.

it can be relied upon not only to meet the energy needs of the population and economic activities, but also to ensure sustainable economic growth, and to contribute to the achievement of the global objectives of climate change reduction and sustainable development.

in this light, the study of recent trends in renewable energy geography research is an academically important topic that has been applied to a sample of 40 Arab studies and 272 foreign studies specializing in renewable energy geography to (1) define the concept of renewable energy and its most important applied technology and a general picture of the scale of global production of energy generated from them, (2) studying the quantitative evolution of Arab renewable energy geography research and its foreign counterpart in major scientific journals, (3) studying the evolution of research subjects and methods of processing them with models of each other, (4) classification of research in terms of both the most researched technology and the density of authors, as well as measurement of its importance based on the index of the intensity of citations of its research and the volume of its views, (5) study the regional and global distribution of renewable energy geography research and explain the pattern of its distribution, (6) highlighting the most detailed results based on the comparison of Arab research with its foreign counterpart.

the main findings of this study include: the issue of renewable energy potential in large and remote areas, the role of GIS in renewable energy planning are the main areas of renewable energy geography studies and the intensity of citation increases the second theme, reflecting its importance.

it has also been concluded that solar, wind and biomass technology are the most highly researched, that Egypt is the largest producer of regional renewable energy geography research, that the larger Asian countries produce globally, and that there is a strong relationship between the intensity of production of countries.
