Bamboo biomass research has gained significant attention in Southeast Asia due to its potential for sustainable energy solutions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the scholarly landscape surrounding bamboo biomass research in the region from 2013 to 2024. The primary objectives are to map the temporal distribution of research, identify leading journals, and highlight evolving focus areas within the field. A systematic review of 28 peer-reviewed articles was conducted to gather data on publication trends, research themes, and key findings. The analysis reveals a growing scholarly interest in bamboo biomass, particularly in its morphological characteristics that enhance biomass power efficiency. The study identifies key journals and research hotspots, indicating a shift towards more applied research in recent years. This paper delineates the trends that have shaped the current research trajectory in bamboo biomass, offering a foundation for future studies aimed at advancing sustainable energy solutions in Southeast Asia. © 2024 Institute of Physics Publishing.
