World electricity generation


Source: IEA, 2008 (data from 2006)
Coal and gas represent the highest share in electricity production. Renewable energy represents about 18%, with hydro electricity having the highest share.
In spite the renewable energy effort of developed countries, particularly EU, the share of renewables is expected to decrease a little more mainly due to paradigm changing in developing countries (biomass is being replaced by coal).

  1. I really feel that we need to start utilizing renewable energy sources rather than oil, gas and fossil fuels. We need to look into a more sustainable future and try to preserve our eco-system
