The aim of the study was to map scientific production on the Green Hydrogen Economy and propose a research agenda for the field of Management from the perspective of Sustainable Development. The research is characterized as a quantitative study, using the bibliometric method. In the survey of publications, in August 2023, the terms ‘Green hydrogen’ AND ‘Economy’ were searched for in the title, keywords and abstracts of the publications, identifying 469 publications, which correspond to the sample of this study. The analysis was based on the bibliometric methods presented by Zupic and Cater (2015), using the VOSviewer software, version 1.6.17. There has been an exponential growth in publications on the subject since 2019, with a predominance of publications by researchers from China, Germany and the United States (US), with Energy as the main subject. The growing number of new countries and researchers has created a thriving network of relationships, citations and co-productions of knowledge. However, research is still restricted to technical issues and small-scale experiments. Some of the current scientific production is essentially aimed at supporting the implementation of small generation and distribution projects, and competition between new technologies related to green hydrogen. The main topics on the agenda for future studies are the other dimensions of Sachs’ sustainability, in addition to the environmental dimension. We would also like to investigate the reasons for the predominance of publications from China, Germany and the USA, as well as considering Management from the perspective of Sustainable Development, extending the research to areas such as Technology, Marketing and International Business.
