The pie charts below compare the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) in 2015 with the predictions for 2040.
The pie chart presents the energy capacity in 2015 with a comparison to the predictions in 2040. The data in the chart are labelled in gigawatts (GW). Proportions include fossil fuels, wind, nuclear, solar and other renewables.
Overall
, the fossil material has the greatest proportion in both years. Wind, nuclear and solar gained only less than one-tenth of the total energy levels each. It can be compared that after 25 years, the proportion of fossil gas, other renewables and nuclear decreased.
In 2015, fossil fuels got 64% of the power capacity, followed by other renewables with 23%. By 2040, solar will be nine times greater than its initial data, reaching about 18%. In addition
, the wind proportion increased more than twice as much as in 2015. Moreover
, the total energy capacity level will almost double in amount, starting from 6.688 GW and ending up at 11.678 GW after two decades and a half.Submitted by Andrea Barreto on
