The image shows the data of a pie chart about the proportion of energy capacity in gigawatts in 2012 with the predictions for 2030. The pie chart has 6 categories that represent each energy form. Each of them are fossil fuels, nuclear, solar, wind, other renewables, and lastly the flexible capacity.
In 2012, the data showed a dominating fossil fuels capacity at 64% and followed by other renewables at 22% with the amount used at 5,579 gigawatts. While on future predictions for 2030 the fossil fuel is still the majority of all but show a decline from 64% to 44% in just 18 years, and followed by other renewable at 19% with a slight 1% difference on solar at 18%. Eventually the capacity of amount used will reach a major growth with nearly twice of its capacity needed in 2012.
Even though, it’s already 18 years of differences, the data shows fossil fuels still have its own demand on the market. The rising star will be solar for multiplying by 9 times of its capacity during 2012.
In conclusion, the data shows a more diversified allocation on energy capacities on the future projection then in 2012, yet fossil still remain the top choice for energy capacity distribution.
