The provided pie charts present a comparison of energy capacity in gigawatts (GW) for the years 2015 and the projected figures for 2040.
Overall, the highest proportions of capacity are allocated to Fossil Fuels and Other renewable resources in both 2015 and the predictions for 2040. Notably, Solar energy exhibits the lowest share in 2015 but is expected to experience significant growth by 2040.
In 2015, the energy capacity was 6.688 GW, with Wind and Solar accounting for 23% and 2% respectively. However, the projections for 2040 indicate a substantial increase in both, with Wind expected to rise to 21% and Solar to 12%. Conversely, Fossil Fuels, which held 64% of the capacity in 2015, are anticipated to decrease to 44% by 2040. Other renewables, with a 23% share in 2015, are predicted to reduce marginally to 5% in 2040.
Furthermore, Nuclear power, which represented 6% in 2015, is projected to decline slightly to 18% in 2040. The total energy capacity is expected to grow to 11.678 GW by 2040, indicating an increase of 5 GW from 2015. While Fossil Fuels and Other renewables will still occupy the most significant proportions in 2040, their shares are expected to diminish, reflecting a shift towards more sustainable energy sources.
