The issue of climate change has become increasingly noteworthy in the past\nyears, the transition towards a renewable energy system is a priority in the\ntransition to a sustainable society. In this document, we explore the\ndefinition of green energy transition, how it is reached, and what are the\ndriven factors to achieve it. To answer that firstly, we have conducted a\nliterature review discovering definitions from different disciplines, secondly,\ngathering the key factors that are drivers for energy transition, finally, an\nanalysis of the factors is conducted within the context of European Union data.\nPreliminary results have shown that household net income and governmental legal\nactions related to environmental issues are potential candidates to predict\nenergy transition within countries. With this research, we intend to spark new\nresearch directions in order to get a common social and scientific\nunderstanding of green energy transition.\n
