The presented pie chart delineates the generation of all types of electricity in two European countries (Germany and France) in 2009 by 560 Billion kWh.
Overall, it’s depicted how the pie charts exemplify the types of energies that are mainly categorized by conventional thermal, nuclear, and renewable which itself also contains myriad types such as biomass, hydroelectric, solar, geothermal and wind. it’s evident how germany is dominated by conventional thermal energy, as for france upholds the nuclear one. Whereas the former relying heavily on biomass and wind for the renewables, and the latter counting on hydroelectric.
It is illustrated how germany has three fifths of its produced energy on the conventional thermal one, while renewables sitting at 17 % and the nuclear, higher than it by 6 points. Nevertheless, france relies heavily on nuclear electricity being three fourths it’s total, then leaving the rest which is around 14% to be shared among the others. Moreover, when it comes to renewables, hydroelectric energy overwhelms the other categories leaving solar and geothermal negligible while wind and biomass both being at around ten percent. However, there is a more stable diversity for renewables in german since wind and biomass share the same proportions that is one third of the total for each, hydroelectric only one fifth and solar around only 6 % leaving solar negligible.
