The pie charts illustrate the figure for electricity in two distinct nations: Germany and France from 3 major sources and 5 renewables in the year of 2009.
Overall, the total volume of generated electricity in Germany was generally more than tat in France. Meanwhile, it is apparent that the conventional thermal electricity was the primarily utilized in Germany, while France rely more on nuclear. Just as among the renewables, biomas was used the most in Germany compared with hydroelectric in France.
Out of the 560 kWh electricity produced in Germany, 59.6% of it was generated by conventional thermal energy, representing the biggest source compared to that by nuclear energy with just above one-third. Among renewable energy sources which generally contributed nearly a fifth out of total, biomass was the predominantly consumed resuable energy comprised with two-fifths, while the rate of wind sources which also consituted relatively the same, with the exact amount of 36.9%. Albeit the minimal amount of constitued 6.1% of solar energy was significantly less consumed than 17.7% that of hydroelectric, there was not a typical means of geothermal energy.
Turning to the remaing data of France’s generated energy, with the total of 510 kWh produced energy, the porpotion of nuclear was dominated with sligtly over three-quarters in comparision with 10.3% from conventional thermal and one-seventh of renewables. Suprisingly, while other renewable energy sources were used les prestigiously which contributed by nearly no generation of solar and geothermal energy, the electric portion of wind and biogas were both relatively approximately one out of ten, which was much more minimal compared to four-fifth that of hydroelectric.
