The pie chart illustrates the proportion of energy capacity, measured in gigawatts, across different sectors in 2015, along with predictions for 2040.
According to the chart, the largest share of energy in 2015 was derived from fossil fuels, accounting for 64%, while solar energy contributed the least at only 2%. Similarly, the second highest source of energy was from other renewable sources at 23%, while wind energy accounted for just 5%. Additionally, nuclear energy contributed 6% of the total energy capacity.
In projections for 2040, it is anticipated that dependency on fossil fuels will decrease to 44%, while reliance on solar energy will rise to 18%. Moreover, dependence on nuclear energy and other renewable resources is expected to drop to 5% and 21%, respectively. Furthermore, the use of wind energy is predicted to increase to 12%.
Additionally, the decrease in the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy is expected to help mitigate various forms of pollution, which is beneficial for the overall well-being of the planet.
