🌍 Global Energy

The shift to the production and use of renewable energy sources in the world is as important as ever. With scientists everywhere warning about the consequences of global warming, many countries attempt to increase their share of renewable energy. But how are they doing that and how have they evolved over the years?

Using the visualisation below, you can select the category of renewables in which you are interested and look at the electricity production throughout the years. The worldmap shows the absolute production of electricity per category for each country.

Where the plot above may show the trends for the entire world throughout the years, it is also interesting to take a look at individual countries. Below, you can observe the evolution of an entire country.

But let's also take a look at the investments made by each country.

Now that we have a sense of the global trends, maybe it is interesting to take a closer look at the countries themselves. From what sources do countries get there renewable energy and how much of their total energy production is renewable?

Below you can select 2 countries and analyze where they get their renewable energy from. But don't be bamboozled, these percentages are relative and don't show what share of their production is renewable as well as how large their production is. For that comparison, you can take a closer look at the bar chart underneath to get a better idea.
