What is it about?
This study extends the traditional three-factor Kaya model to a five-factor framework that explicitly incorporates renewable energy dynamics to analyse the main drivers of CO2 emissions per capita in Australia and its states/territories from 2008–2009 to 2023–2024. Within this environment, we introduce an index for evaluating energy transition in each state over time, captured through the combined effects of renewable energy share and the fossil fuel-to-renewable ratio.

Why is it important?
The paper primarily focuses on introducing a new index for energy transition and analyzing the major factors influencing CO2 emissions across all Australian states and territories.
Perspectives
It is an important paper in the area of energy economics and the energy transition that helps policymakers identify how their policies regarding energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, and decarbonisation have worked over time.
