The pie graphs present the breakdown of different energy sources and the percentage of energy consumption in six parts of the world in 1991. The sources include oil, hydro, nuclear, gas, and others.
Overall, oil and other sources had the highest percentages for the overall world consumption and the majority of the countries included in the study. Gas had one of the highest figures in the world breakdown but it was the lowest in the breakdown per country.
In detail, oil was the most used source with 39% out of the world’s total energy consumption in 1991. Japan had the least total MTOE with 38 MTOE but it was the biggest consumer of oil with 57%. Meanwhile, the US had the biggest MTOE, and oil made up a little over half its total energy consumption in 1991. Hydro energy was among the top energy sources per country but its world percentage is only 3%. China consumed the most with 79%, which was almost five times its percentage of oil consumption. Europe spent a quarter of its total consumption on hydro energy, while Japan and Russia had close figures with 18% and 19%, respectively. Other sources made up almost a quarter of the world’s total consumption. This was mostly used by Russia with 43% while China consumed the least with 2%, which was less than a 20th of the former’s number.
Nuclear had less than a tenth of the world’s energy expenditure. Japan spent the most nuclear energy with 12%, almost six times that of China and the US. Gas was the second-highest in the world computation, but it was among the lowest of the six countries with figures ranging from 1-3%.
