The two pie charts below show total world energy consumption and electricity generation for last year.
The two pie charts compare the global proportion of energy consumed versus the percentage of electricity generated in the previous year. Units are given in percentage.
Overall
, although
fossil fuels were predominantly used and produced, there were more options for the consumption of renewable resources.
In regard to the exhaustion of energy, non-renewable sources were primarily utilised, with oil topping the chart at over a third,
while
coal and gas accounted for just above a quarter and a fifth, respectively. This
value was followed by combustible renewables and waste at 10.6%, whereas
, other forms collectively comprised less than 10%.
Power generation, on the other hand
, was significantly dominated by coal, which supplied just under two-fifths of the total. Oil and gas together constituted 13.6% lower than coal. However
, hydro and nuclear power combined almost equalled coal in electricity production, with 16.1% and 5.7% in respective order. Interestingly, only 2.1% of electricity was distributed from other sources.Submitted by adebimpeanimawun on
