The table below shows the percentage use of four different fuel types to generate electricity in five Asian countries in 2005. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

The given table compares five Asian regions in terms of the proportion of energy generation by using five different types of sources in 2005.

Overall

,

Malaysia

and

Singapore

used coal and lignite as the main fuels to produce power,

whereas

South

Korea

used hydro and wind farms.

Moreover

,

Japan

received the most amount of energy from nuclear stations.

In contrast

, petroleum products were the least share in all the regions, except

Thailand

where other sources were the most common way to generate electricity. Looking at the details, nuclear stations in

Japan

produced a hefty 49% of the all power in the country, whilst South

Korea

by 16% less and

Malaysia

and

Singapore

by around 30% less, compared to

Thailand

which didn’t generate energy from

this

source at all. As for coal and lignite,

Malaysia

and

Singapore

had the leading positions with 61% and 42% respectively,

while

other countries amounted to an average of 4,5%. Other sources are used in

Singapore

,

Thailand

and

Japan

with approximately 40%

while

the rest countries generated less than 15% of all electricity. Meanwhile, Petroleum products accounted for the smallest segment of power generation in

Malaysia

,

Singapore

, South

Korea

and

Japan

with about 3%,

whereas

Thailand

made 36%.

In addition

, hydro and wind stations supplied South

Korea

with 48% of its capacity,

while

Thailand

produced 19% and other countries amounted to an average of 4%.
