The table gives information about the proportions of different types of fuel consumed for electricity generation in five Asian nations in 2005.
Overall, four kinds of fuel can be categorized into renewable and non-renewable energy. While South Korean and Japan tend to use more eco-friendly power including Nuclear and Hydro and Wind, the other countries in Southern Asia still rely on fossil fuels as their primary resources to produce electricity.
Regarding renewable energy resources, nuclear power dominated in the two East Asian countries, making up 49% and 33% of electricity production in Japan and South Korea, respectively. While the figure for this source was relatively moderate in Malaysia (19%) and Singapore (13%), that of Thailand was absolutely zero. In terms of hydro and wind power, South Korea observed the largest percent usage with 48%, followed by Thailand with 19%. The proportion of that source in other countries are considerably minimal, about three to five percent.As for conventional fossil fuels, coal and lignite were the main source for electrical power in Malaysia (61%) and Singapore (42%), whereas the remaining nations consumed subtantially less of these sources, at no more than 6%. Petrolium products were only popular in Thailand at about 36% of total consumption, with neglegible consumption elsewhere. Other energy were used highest in Thailand (42%), followed by SIngapore and Japan (39%), and finally Malaysia and South Korea, at 13% and 11% correspondingly.
