The map illustrates renewable energy consumption in 2020 for various countries. Darker shades of green indicate higher renewable energy usage, while lighter shades indicate lower consumption. Countries such as Tanzania, Nigeria, and Zambia show significant renewable energy usage because they have abundant natural resources like rivers for hydropower and sunshine for solar energy. Many rural areas need electricity, and renewables provide a faster, cheaper solution. Governments support these efforts through policies, and international organizations offer financial and technical help. These countries are also working to meet climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
This bar chart compares the total renewable energy production across a selection of countries. It can be seen from the chart, Geothermal and Hydro are the most produced renewable energy on average among countries in 2020. Australia is seen to excel in Wind energy production the most
The donut chart provides an overview of energy production by type in 2022, showing the proportion of energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro. It highlights the increasing shift towards cleaner energy sources. This is an expected shift since people are becoming more environmentally cautious and shifting their interest towards renewable energy to preserve earth's resources.
The stacked area chart visualizes renewable energy consumption trends over the years, showcasing how various countries have increased their adoption of renewable energy. Countries like Brazil and China show the most amount of renewable energy used whereas countries like Singapore and Malaysia show the least amount of renewable energy consumption.
This stacked bar chart shows the renewable energy production (in GWh) of five countries—Australia, Canada, China, Japan, and the USA—from 2000 to 2023. Each color represents a different country, making it easy to compare their renewable energy contributions over time.
China stands out with a significant rise in renewable energy production, particularly after 2010, becoming the leading contributor in recent years. The USA and Canada maintain steady production with some fluctuations. On the other hand, Australia and Japan exhibit more gradual growth in their renewable energy outputs.
