You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph shows the proportion of energy that was produced from coal in four European countries from 1995 to 2010. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph compares the

from coal in

Sweden

, France, Denmark and Germany between 1995 and 2010.

in Denmark and Germany. Denmark’s

production

of

energy

from coal stood at 60% in 1995, higher than the other four countries.

However

levels dropped sharply over the next 15 years to finish at 10% in 2010, which was the lowest of that year.

Energy

production

from coal in Germany followed a similar pattern, beginning the

period

at just under 60% and falling significantly, though unlike Denmark it fell to a low of only 5% in 2007 and

increased again to approximately 18%.

In contrast

Sweden

and France saw more moderate falls over the

. 35% of

came from coal in

Sweden

in 1995, and

this

proportion gradually declined over the

to finish at approximately 28% in 2010, the highest of the four countries,

the percentage produced in France remained just under that of
