The given table elucidates the usage of nuclear, coal, petroleum, water, winds and other resources for generation of electricity in five countries of Asian continent during 2005.
Overall, it can be analysed that Malaysia and Singapore are majorly dependent on coal-based products for fulfilling their energy needs in contrast to other countries who rely upon petroleum and nuclear for generation of electricity.
Over 60% coal-products are exploited to generate electricity in Malaysia followed by nuclear (19%) and other sources (20%). As coal and ignite are the largest source of power in Singapore too, which contributes 42% of power generation there, compared to 13% and 45 % of nuclear-based and other resources backed-power generation. While Thailand makes no use of nuclear products, the power supply is base on 61% of other resources like water and windmills, 36% of petroleum products and 3% of coal products.
Moreover, nations of South-China Sea i. e. Japan and South Korea rely highly on nuclear power, for their one-third of electric needs are fulfilled by nuclear. Windmills and Hydro Power produces 48% of electricity in South Korea in contrast to 3% in Japan. Further, Japan and South Korea engages 39% and 11% of other sources to generate electricity, respectively. Both the nation have negligible dependence on petroleum and coal backed electricity.
