Final energy consumption in industry, by fuel, EU-28 (Mtoe)

Slide Content

The slide presents data on the final energy consumption in the industrial sector of EU-28 countries, classified by fuel type, for the years 2011 and 2021. The fuels include gases, electricity, solid fuels and derivatives, oil products, renewable energies, and derived heat. Values are shown in million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) with a noticeable increase in consumption from 2011 to 2021 across most fuel types. Solid fuels show a decrease, emphasizing a shift in energy use patterns over the decade.

Graphical Look

• The slide has a dark blue background.
• A large, colorful donut chart dominates the center, depicting comparative fuel consumption for two years.
• Each segment of the donut chart is a different color: blue for gases, orange for electricity, grey for solid fuels, light blue for oil products, green for renewable energies, and red for derived heat.
• Inside each segment, there are two concentric portions representing the years 2011 and 2021.
• Adjacent to each donut chart segment, there are associated icons: a valve for gases, a lightning bolt for electricity, a mining cart for solid fuels, an oil pump for oil products, a leaf for renewable energies, and radiators for derived heat.
• Numbers within the chart show Mtoe values for each fuel type and year.
• A legend on the left explains the color coding for different energy sources and includes additional icons.
• The font used for text and numbers is bold and white, ensuring readability against the dark background.
• The source of the data, "Eurostat," is mentioned discreetly in the lower left corner.

The slide is visually dynamic, with a strong color contrast that makes the information stand out. The use of icons effectively communicates the different energy sources at a glance.

Use Cases

• To communicate changes in the industrial energy mix over time during energy sector reviews or presentations.
• In environmental impact assessments to illustrate shifts towards renewable energy sources.
• During business strategy meetings to discuss industrial energy efficiency and cost implications.
• Providing a visual aid in educational settings when teaching about energy consumption and sustainability.
