The pie charts illustrate the energy consumption based on fuel type in two different years, 2008 and 2018. The data shows a significant shift in the energy mix over the 10-year period.
In 2008, fossil fuels dominated the energy landscape, with oil accounting for the largest share at 33.0%, followed by natural gas at 41.3% and coal at 16.9%. Nuclear energy contributed 6.2%, with renewable sources, including hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and wind. Bioenergy & Waste occupied 2,7%.
By 2018 the energy mix had undergone a notable transformation. The share of primary electricity sources increased substantially to 11.6. Nuclear energy remained relatively stable at 5%. However, the reliance on fossil fuels decreased, with oil increasing to 35.8%, natural gas dropping to 39.2%, and coal declining to 4.4%. Bioenergy & Waste has risen 9.1%.
The data suggests a gradual shift towards cleaner energy sources, with renewable energy gaining traction and fossil fuels, particularly coal, losing ground. This trend reflects the global efforts to mitigate climate change and transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
