The pie charts depict the distribution of electricity production across four countries between 2003 and 2008, categorized by energy sources and expressed as percentages. Overall, hydropower and fossil fuels emerged as the dominant energy sources across the surveyed nations, with the most pronounced contrast between these two sources observed in Morocco. While India and Vietnam exhibited hydropower-driven energy portfolios, Morocco and Sweden relied heavily on fossil fuel-based energy systems.
In terms of dependency on the three examined energy sources in the Asian countries, hydropower took precedence in India and Vietnam. India generated 82% of its electricity from hydropower, a figure surpassing Vietnam’s share of 56% by over a quarter. Fossil fuels, meanwhile, ranked as the second-most significant energy source in these nations, comprising 14% in India and 44% in Vietnam. It’s also worth noting that nuclear power, which Vietnam had not yet harnessed, accounted for 4% of India’s total energy mix.
Conversely, Morocco and Sweden displayed a different energy composition. In Morocco, only 5% of electricity was sourced from hydropower, the same as in Sweden. In stark contrast, Morocco was overwhelmingly dependent on fossil fuels, which provided 95% of its electricity. Sweden, however, balanced its energy generation more evenly, with 52% coming from fossil fuels and 44% from nuclear energy, illustrating a mixed energy strategy.
