Percentage of electricity from oil worldwide by key country 2011

This statistic displays the percentage of electricity that was derived from oil globally in 2011, by country. During this year, Kuwait generated 62 percent of its electricity from oil.

Countries like Saudi Arabia uses oil directly for its electricity demands, rather than coal and natural gas.

本统计数据展示了2011年全球各国从石油中获取电力的百分比。在该年度，科威特有62%的电力来源于石油。鉴于高昂的成本，石油主要用于交通运输领域而非电力领域。例如，沙特阿拉伯等国家直接利用石油来满足其电力需求，而非煤炭和天然气。
