The pie chart compares the percentage of energy capacity measured in gigawatts (GW) specifically fossil fuels, nuclear, other renewables, wild, and solar, over a 25-year period with the predictions for the future.
Overall, it is evident that the percentage of fossil fuel energy and other renewables energy will decline. In contrast, the percentage of remaining energy capacity will experience an increase in percentage.
In 2015, the most popular type of energy capacity was the fossil fuels accounting for 64% of gigawatts in 2015. The second most popular figure was other renewables energy at 23% of gigawatts. Meanwhile, the percentage of nuclear, wild, and solar energy had the lowest percentage of gigawatts 6%, 5%, and 2%, respectively.
By 2040, significant changes had occurred in the energy capacity percentage gigawatts. The percentage of fossil fuels will decline by 44%. Likewise the percentage of other renewables energy will decrease to 21%. Conversely, the percentage of nuclear, wild, and solar energy will increase to 18%, 12%, 5%, respectively.
