Abstract: Hydrogen energy is the “ultimate form” of energy in the future. Currently, industrial production of hydrogen mainly relies on fossil fuels. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an important way to realize the transformation from “grey hydrogen” to “blue hydrogen” and “dual carbon goals”. In this paper, related literatures were collected from the Web of Science core collection. CiteSpace software was used to analyze the literature source, research strength, research hotspots and research frontiers in the coupling field of hydrogen production and CCUS technology. The results show that China ranks the first in the number of publications and also has extensive cooperation with other countries. The main research forces at home and abroad are research institutes and universities. Sorption enhanced steam methane reforming (SESMR) hydrogen production technology, chemical looping combustion (CLC) hydrogen production technology, catalysts, adsorbents and oxygen carriers are the main research hotspots. Metal oxygen carriers are at the forefront of research. Development of composite catalysts with catalytic and adsorption functions and application of electricity-hydrogen generation technology combining CLC technology and coal gasification in the thermal power industry are the two main research directions in the future. Considering the industry-wide adoption of “dual carbon goals”and the additional cost of carbon tax, the hydrogen production technology accompanying CCUS is still a preferred option.
