A glance at the provided pie charts reveals information about the different energy sources used in Australia in 2008 and what is predicted for 2030. Overall, it is readily apparent that coal, oil, and gas had the largest proportion of energy used in 2008, and it is predicted that they will be the highest energy sources for 2030.
In 2008, coal was the highest energy used at 39%, followed by oil at 32.50%. However, the figure for oil is predicted will be the highest figure at 35.50% for 2030. The energy source of gas was at 22.90% in 2008, and is predicted that it will decrease to 32% for 2030 and will stand in the second place, which will be followed by coal at 27% for 2030.
The percentages of hydro and wind were the least proportion of the energy sources at 0.20% and 0.30% in 2008, respectively. Then, it is predicted that they will increase to 0.70% and 1.20%, respectively for 2030. It is noticeable that in 2008, the proportion of solar energy was at 1.30% and then it is anticipated that it will be completely removed and replaced with geothermal at 4.30% for 2030.
