You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The two pie charts below show total world energy consumption and electricity generation for last year. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

A glance at the two pie charts provided reveals how much
electricity
the world
consumed and generated last
year.
It is evident from the information given that fossil fuel was the major source of power
on earth since oil
, coal and gasoline accounted for the majority of both the world
's electricity
generation and consumption
. Renewable energy, including hydro and nuclear power
, was less common.
Not surprisingly, oil
, coal and gas were the main sources of the world
's electricity
; as a result
, the total consumption
of these energies accounted for 80% of the total. More than one-third of the consumption
was sourced from oil
, followed by coal and gas at 25.1% and 20.9% respectively. In stark contrast, however
, the electricity
supplied by oil
and gas was less than the demand
.
One particularly interesting fact highlighted by the figures is that the supply of most renewable energy was more than the demand
as the supply of hydropower (16.1%) was 8 times higher than its demand
(2.2%), whereas
the supply of nuclear power
(15.7%) was doubled its demand
(6.5%). Conversely
, although
10.6% of the world
's energy consumption
was coming from combustible renewables & waste power
, there was no supply from that previous year.Submitted by puimei822 on
