This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the energy transition index recently developed by Lau et al. (2023) and CO2 emissions in OECD countries. The topic is relevant, as the energy transition is a sustainable path to reduce CO2 emissions in countries. The CS-ARDL approach is used to estimate the short-run and long-run coefficients. Additionally, the Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) test is employed to determine the causal relationship between the variables. It was found that a 1 % increase in clean energy production reduces CO2 emissions by 0.33 % and 0.23 % in the short and long run, respectively. Furthermore, a bidirectional causal relationship exists between CO2 emissions and the energy transition indicator. This suggests that policies implemented by OECD countries to reduce carbon emissions will inevitably entail the adoption of cleaner energy sources.
本研究旨在分析Lau等人（2023年）最近开发的能源转型指数与经合组织国家二氧化碳排放之间的关系。该主题具有相关性，因为能源转型是各国减少二氧化碳排放的可持续途径。采用CS-ARDL方法估计短期和长期系数。此外，还使用了Dumitrescu和Hurlin（2012年）检验来确定变量之间的因果关系。研究发现，清洁能源产量每增加1%，在短期和长期内分别可使二氧化碳排放量减少0.33%和0.23%。此外，二氧化碳排放与能源转型指标之间存在双向因果关系。这表明经合组织国家为减少碳排放而实施的政策将不可避免地需要采用更清洁的能源。
