The two pie charts below show total world energy consumption and electricity generation for last year.

The two pie charts provide information about the

overall

global

energy

utilization and

energy

production in the previous year.

Overall

, the majority of consumed

energy

last

year came from

oil

. Among the seven source categories, the coal industry provided the largest electrical power supply worldwide. It is noticeable that more than a quarter of

used worldwide was produced by crude

oil

at 34%.

While

coal and gas accounted for almost identical figures of 25.1% and 20.9% respectively, combustible renewables and waste were just 10.6% of the total consumed

energy

. Looking closely at the figures for

electricity

generation, clearly, coal accounted for the highest proportion of generated

electricity

at 39.8%.

This

is followed by natural gas which created 19.6% of total world

electricity

produced. The percentage of power supply generation using

oil

was not proportional to its consumption, as few as 6.7% was generated using

oil

reserves. Water and nuclear sources were

also

considerably greater in terms of generation compared to consumption 16.1% and 15.7%.

Furthermore

, there are other resources for both supply and use but it was just a marginal figure.

Finally

, there was no

that was produced

year using renewable combustions and wastes.
