The pie chart compares the amount of electricity which was produced from fuel source in two countries – Denmark and Germany – in 1978 and 1998.
Overall, it is clear that there was a significant increase in the total production of electricity in both countries. Meanwhile, in Germany, the increase significantly relied on nuclear power, in contrast to Denmark, where coal was dominant energy source.
In 1978, in terms of coal usage, Denmark stands out substantially, registered 53 units, and this contrasts sharply with the trend observed in Germany, recording 20 units. By contrast, Germany takes the lead with oil at 20 units, which is almost three times higher than of Denmark, with amount of 7 units. Both of the countries demonstrated comparable patterns in the production of natural gas, with amount of 15 and 22 units, respectively, showcasing a slight variation.
In 1998, coal is still the predominant source in Denmark, increasing to 122 units from 53 units, while oil and natural gas experienced a substantial decrease, which commenced at 7 and 15 units, respectively, and both of them finished at 2 units. Furthermore, nuclear power increased to 111 units from 11 units, which placed it ahead of all remaining energy sources in Germnay.
