The data illustrates the proportional use of four types of fuel to generate electricity in five Asian nations in 2005.
Overall, among the five countries, there is a significant use of other types of fuel. The proportion ranges from 11% to 42%.
To start with, nuclear is one of the most popular types of fuel in all countries except Thailand. There is no use of nuclear in Thailand. However, petroleum products are widely used in Thailand. In the other four countries, petroleum products are unpopular. The proportion of this product in four countries is only below three percent.
In Malaysia, coal is the primary fuel for electricity generation. Its share comprises 61%. In Singapore, coal and igniters make up almost half of the fuel used for electricity generation. There is less use of hydro and wind fuels in Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. The share of this type of fuel among these countries was approximately 5%. However, in Thailand and South Korea, the use of hydro and wind fuels is popular. In comparison, South Korea uses hydro and wind fuels 2.5 times more than Thailand.
