Band 7+: The charts below show changes in the proportion of energy produced from different resources in a country in 1985 and 2003. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie chart illustrates changes in the percentage of energy production from various resources in a nation from 1985 to 2003.

Overall, while there was a decrease in the proportion of natural gas and nuclear energy with natural gas production being the highest figure, that of oil, coal, and other renewable energy witnessed a reverse trend. Additionally, the percentage of hydrogen remained unchanged.

In detail, although natural gas was produced the most, at around 52% of total energy production in 1985, its proportion decreased by 13% in 2003. Similarly, the percentage of nuclear energy comprised 22% in 1985 before significantly declining to 8% in 2003.

In contrast, the percentage of oil was at 13% in 1985, followed by a decent increase to 23% in 2003. Starting at 8% in 1985, energy production from coal increased by 14% from 1985 to 2003. Similar changes can be seen in the figure for other renewable energy, which experienced a slight increase from 1% to 4%. Unlike other resources, energy produced from coal stabilized at 4% after 18 years.
